Today’s post describes what may be a critical finding in defining at least one mechanism whereby gut microbes directly affect the brain. Those interested in developmental disorders, like autism; Parkinson’s; Alzheimer’s; chronic fatigue; etc. should pay particular attention as, according this article, this information…

Remember last Thursday, when I wrote about the relationship of the gut bacteria to the structure and function of the brain? I mentioned in that post that, “In Western populations, Bacteroides and Prevotella species tend to dominate, with the former outnumbering the latter…

I posted the news last week on the Biome Buzz’ Facebook page, about research out of Oxford University in the UK[i] which connected personality type to specific microbiome patterns. The story has gotten huge coverage in the world of the biome, so I reckon…

I know that everyone (including me) wants answers to the question “how do you fix a broken biome.” I am always happy when I come across any information that may actually help people, especially since, at this point, there’s precious little known about how…

I have spent a fair bit of virtual ink over the years talking about both the positives and the negatives of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), mentioning that indeed, you really can have too much of a good thing. For example, as healthy as…

As promised, I am writing my annual review of top stories from the previous year but this time, I’m not picking my favorites, I’m picking yours. I thought it would be fun to see which of my posts got the top views for the…

Over the weekend I read an interesting little article on the status of fecal microbiota transplant as a therapy for treating autism.[i] It most certainly is one of the more promising treatments: the two clinical trials so far have had pretty spectacular results. That’s…

I recently read an article looking at the effects of bacterial microbiome alterations on particular circuits in the brain (the thalamo-cortico-basal ganglia) that are associated with compulsive behavior, addiction, altered sensations and motor output.[i] What struck me is how closely related seemingly unrelated disorders…

In various posts, I’ve explored different potential mechanisms that may play a part in the epidemic of biome alterations we have experienced in the industrialized world, including diet, formula feeding, chronic stress, and so forth. Another potential mechanism, environmental toxins, is another area of…

Over the weekend, I read a great little article about the potential applications of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in treating a huge variety of diseases.[i] Of course, we are sorely lacking in clinical trials for almost all but still, there is hope to be…
