Abstract

Research on commensal microbiota and its contribution to health and disease is a new and very dynamically developing field of biology and medicine. Recent experimental and clinical investigations underscore the importance of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and course of stroke. Importantly, microbiota may influence the outcome of cerebral ischemia by modulating central nervous system antigen-specific immune responses. In this review we summarize studies linking gut microbiota with physiological function and disorders of the central nervous system. Based on these insights we speculate about targeting the gut microbiome in order to treat stroke.

  • Several different microbiome-targeted approaches, including prebiotic, probiotic, and FMT strategies, have shown promising results for a variety of GI conditions in preclinical and clinical models.

    “Several different microbiome-targeted approaches, including prebiotic, probiotic, and FMT strategies, have shown promising results for a variety of GI conditions in preclinical and clinical models and could be extended to pathologies involving microglia in the near future (Fond et al., 2015; Winek et al., 2016).”

  • Compared with specific-pathogen-free mice, germ-free mice show social communication disorders and increased anxiety behaviors, and these abnormal social behaviors are corrected after colonization with normal microbiota.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
