Clapp et al. (2017) state in their article Gut microbiota’seffect on mental health:

“The bidirectional communication between the central nervoussystem and gut microbiota, referred to as the gut-brain-axis, hasbeen of significant interest in recent years. Increasing evidencehas associated gut microbiota to both gastrointestinal andextragastrointestinal diseases. Dysbiosis and inflammation of thegut have been linked to causing several mental illnesses includinganxiety and depression, which are prevalent in society today[…].

Healthy gut function has been linked to normal central nervoussystem (CNS) function. Hormones, neurotransmitters andimmunological factors released from the gut are known to sendsignals to the brain either directly or via autonomic neurons.”

Questions:

A Through which pathways might microbesof the gut microbiota interact with the gut brainaxis?

B. Howcan gut microbiota influence and contribute to the pathogenesis ofneuropsychiatric disorders?

C. Howcould scientists use the new knowledge of the bidirectionality ofthe GBA to help people suffering from anxiety anddepression?

The gut brain axis is a quicklyevolving very recent field within physiologicalpsychology/behavioral neuroscience for answering the abovequestions please use scientific articles from google scholar,medline, psycharticles, etc to get the information for youranswers.
