Gut Microbiota Interactions with Cognitive Function
Prof. José-Manuel Fernández-Real from Hospital de Girona "Dr Josep Trueta", Universitat de Girona, Spain will join the Targeting Microbiota 2021 Congress which will be held on October 20-22, 2021 and give a presentation entitled "Gut Microbiota Interactions with Cognitive Function".
Summary of Talk:
- Gut microbiome composition and functionality have been recently found to be linked to immediate and short-term memory and several tests evaluating inhibitory control in subjects with and without obesity.
- Brain structures associated with these cognitive domains were also associated with gut microbiome alterations.
- The impairments in immediate memory and in inhibitory control of the donors were phenocopied to recipient mice through faecal microbiota transplantation, resulting in alterations of memory, reversal learning and changes in mouse brain transcriptomics.
