Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is increasing evidence showing that the status of the intestinal environment is closely connected with the function of the central nervous system (CNS). This so-called “gut–brain axis” facilitates the bidirectional communication between the central and enteric nervous and endocrine systems, as well as the regulation of immune responses in the gut and brain. All aspects of this system appear to be heavily influenced by the activity of intestinal microbes.
This Special Issue is focused on the gut–brain axis of neurodegenerative disease. It will include original articles and reviews focusing on aspects related to the gut–brain axis in neurodegenerative disease, including, but are not limited to, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
