Abstract

Mental health disorders and neurodegenerative diseases place a heavy burden on patients and societies, and, although great strides have been made to understand the pathophysiology of these conditions, advancement in drug development is lagging. The importance of gastrointestinal health in maintaining overall health and preventing disease is not a new concept. Hundreds of years ago, healers from various cultures and civilizations recognized the crucial role of the gut in sustaining health. More than a century ago, scientists began exploring the restorative effects of probiotics, marking the early recognition of the importance of gut microbes. The omics era brought more enlightenment and enabled researchers to identify the complexity of the microbial ecosystems we harbour, encompassing bacteria, eukaryotes (including fungi), archaea, viruses, and other microorganisms. The extensive genetic capacity of the microbiota is dynamic and influenced by the environment. The microbiota therefore serves as a significant entity within us, with evolutionarily preserved functions in host metabolism, immunity, development, and behavior. The significant role of the bacterial gut microbiome in mental health and neurodegenerative disorders has been realized and described within the framework of the microbiota-gut-brain axis. However, the bacterial members do not function unaccompanied, but rather in concert, and there is a substantial knowledge gap regarding the involvement of non-bacterial microbiome members in these disorders. In this review, we will explore the current literature that implicates a role for the entire metagenomic ensemble, and how their complex interkingdom relationships could influence CNS functioning in mental health disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Communication between gut and brain occurs through multiple interconnected neural, endocrine, immune, and metabolic pathways that can synergize to modulate AD risk and progression.

    “Communication between the gut and brain occurs through multiple, interconnected pathways, including neural, endocrine, immune, and metabolic routes, that can synergize to modulate AD risk and progression [122].”

    From Toward a Unified Framework in Molecular Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s Disease: Revisiting the Pathophysiological Hypotheses (2026) · cites this paper as [122]

    Section 2.1 (pp. 3–4) describes bidirectional gut–brain communication through neural, endocrine, immune, and microbial-metabolite routes. The discussion on p. 5 links herpes infections in the brain to Alzheimer’s disease risk and progression, but does not establish that the listed gut–brain pathways act synergistically to modulate that risk or progression.

  • The gut microbiota plays critical roles in metabolism, immune regulation, and neural signaling.

    “The gut microbiota, consisting primarily of bacteria but also fungi, viruses, archaea, and protozoa, plays critical roles in metabolism, immune regulation, and neural signaling.”

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.
