This study looks at how gut bacteria may influence brain function and behavior, through a chemical called GABA. It may help researchers understand brain–gut links, though it is not yet a treatment trial.
This study tests how a Mediterranean diet affects your health, based on your gut bacteria. It helps find out if this diet is a good fit for you personally.
This study looks at how the gut may influence the brain in normal aging and conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers understand new ways to measure or treat these brain changes over time.
This trial studies whether following a Mediterranean-style eating plan can change the gut and brain “communication” to help people with major depression. It looks at possible links between gut bacteria and mood.
This study tests whether eating more high-dairy foods can improve communication between your gut and brain. The researchers want to see if this way of eating helps overall health in people who are overweight but otherwise healthy.
