Background

The gut-brain axis

The gut and the brain are in constant exchange – in both directions. Science calls this connection the gut-brain axis.

The gut flora – the community of trillions of microorganisms – is part of this exchange and an active field of research.

A young field of research

How the composition of the microbiota, digestion and the nervous system interact is being studied intensively. Many questions are still open.

Diet and lifestyle help shape the gut flora: a varied, fibre-rich diet promotes a diverse gut flora.
