Session Description
The gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in human health — including brain and neurological health. New scientific findings examine how varied mechanisms link the microbes in the gut with the brain, and how that interplay relates to certain metabolic and neurological disorders. Researchers will discuss the association between early life adversity and obesity, evidence that the genesis of Parkinson's disease may be in the colon, and how oral pesticide exposure can lead to functional and molecular changes in both the gut and brain relevant to Parkinson's disease.
