Changes in one of the organs will affect the other organs. Disorders in the composition and quantity of gut microorganisms can affect both the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system (CNS), thereby indicating the existence of a microbiota-gut-brain axis. Due to the intricate interactions between the gut and the brain, gut symbiotic microorganisms are closely associated with various CNS diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and multiple sclerosis. In this paper, we will review the latest advances of studies on the correlation between gut microorganisms and CNS functions & diseases.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • L. reuteri reverses social behavior deficits, restores hypothalamus oxytocin immunoreactive neurons to control levels, and corrects deficits in synaptic plasticity.

    “One further study found that L. reuteri, could reverse observed social behavior deficits and restore hypothalamus oxytocin immunoreactive neurons to control levels as well as correct deficits in synaptic plasticity (Zhu et al., 2017).”

    From The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis (2019) · cites this paper as Zhu et al., 2017

    The ‘Microbiota-gut-brain axis and CNS disorders’ section says Lactobacillus reuteri could reverse changes in social behavior, oxytocin cells, and synaptic plasticity in mice. It does not specify hypothalamic oxytocin-immunoreactive neurons or say they were restored to control levels. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
