Neurobiome

The neurobiome is a term that is gaining attention in emerging scientific fields, often referring to the complex interaction between the nervous system and the microbiome (the collection of microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and their genetic material, that live on and inside the body). This concept highlights how the brain and the body’s microbial ecosystems, especially the gut microbiome, influence each other.

The neurobiome refers to the interplay between the nervous system and the microbiome, especially in the gut, and its role in influencing brain health, mental well-being, and neurodevelopment. The gut-brain axis is a major component of this system, with research linking the microbiome to a variety of neurological and psychological disorders, as well as potential therapies through probiotics, diet, and microbiome modulation.
