Microorganisms residing in your intestine are in constant communication with your brain.
An accumulating body of evidence indicates that the relationship between the gut microbiome and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis, can even result in neuroplastic changes.
These neuroplastic changes are adaptive modifications of the structure, function and connections of the nervous system and its tissues.
Imagine that! The structure and function of your nervous system actually change in response to microbial activity.
Stay tuned to learn how your microbiome affects neuroplasticity and how to improve the gut-brain axis!
