The gut and brain are in constant communication through the gut-brain axis โ a bidirectional network involving the gut microbiome, immune system, nervous system, endocrine signaling, and the vagus nerve. (CMGH, 2024)

The microbiome may influence this communication through microbial metabolites, immune signaling, inflammatory pathways, and neuroendocrine activity. (Cell Reports Medicine, 2025)
However, the evidence is still evolving. The gut-brain axis should not be framed as a cure-all for mental health, immunity, metabolism, or brain health. Associations do not always prove causation, and stronger human studies are still needed. (eBioMedicine, 2022)
