What role do gut microbes play in brain-related disorders?

There is likely an important role of gut microbes and its messengers on brain function, brain changes and development of disease

But we do not have causal proof that microbes play a role in these human diseases such as depression, Parkinson’s and autism spectrum disorder

We have many animal studies with which we can extrapolate results from to humans, and we have some human studies, many of which are not causal but correlational

It is definitely not a linear 1:1 relationship with gut microbes causing all of these conditions as they are just one influence amongst many other factors such as genetics and diet

For example, it is possible that to have major disturbances of the gut microbiome and never develop Alzheimer’s disease or depression

It is also possible to develop a disease and have no pronounced dysbiosis of the gut microbiome
