Project Abstract

The abstract for the research project on "The Role of Microbiota in Gut-Brain Axis Communication" is as follows Abstract
The intricate relationship between the gut and the brain has been a subject of growing interest in the field of neuroscience and microbiology. The gut-brain axis represents a bidirectional communication system between the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract, influenced by various factors including the gut microbiota. This research project aims to investigate the role of microbiota in gut-brain axis communication and its implications for overall health and well-being.
