Ancient Vedic texts proclaim, “As is the food, so is the mood”. Therefore, food as medicine and taking care of the gut was known to mankind from time immemorial. However, it’s only over the past couple of decades that the critical role the microbiota–gut–brain axis plays in health and disease is emerging in mainstream research. The brain–gut axis is a bidirectional communication system between the central nervous system (CNS) and the gastrointestinal tract. Regulation of the microbiota–brain–gut axis is essential for maintaining homeostasis, including that of the CNS. The route of this communication is not fully elucidated but includes neural, humoral, immune, and metabolic pathways. A number of approaches have been used to interrogate this axis including the use of germ-free animals, probiotic agents, antibiotics, or animals exposed to pathogenic bacterial infections. 136 David Street, Dandenong, VIC 3175 www.outpaceparkinsons.com.au
