Document Summary

* stress responses can be modulated by microbiome and vice versa. This means that stress in general changes the gut microbiota and vice versa meaning that changing the microbiota alters levels of stress and this implies a bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. There are also behavioural consequences to stress and anxiety in a large number of individuals including stress and anxiety related eating which in turn would affect the microbiome. * various studies indicating that asd symptoms may be related to composition of microbiome. So, there is evidence indicating that there is some symptoms of autism spectrum disorder might be related to the composition of the microbiome. One of the consequences is that they have noted changes in neurological symptoms in (cid:448)a(cid:396)ious diseases that they (cid:449)e(cid:396)e(cid:374)"t setti(cid:374)g out to treat. So, it looks as if faecal transplants might change neurological diseases. * there are two possible balance that might be operating.
