Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis and CNS Disorders: Recent Progress and Perspectives on Human Disease summarizes the main findings on gut-brain axis in different types of CNS disorders, providing a complete overview of the field. The content helps unravel the complex interactions of the microbiota-gut-brain-axis in CNS disorders to pave a better understanding of microbiota-mediated pathogenesis, avenues for noninvasive prognosis, and therapeutic possibilities leveraging microbiota-gut-brain-axis modulations. Coverage includes the role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis and gut virome on human diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Depression and Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and others.

This book will satisfy the urgent need for a broader view of the current associations between gut microbiota alterations and development of CNS disorders, including the use of novel therapeutic approaches for restoring the correct intestinal bacteria content. It is the perfect reference for translational and clinical gut and microbiome researchers tackling the challenges of delivering genes and drugs in a more targeted and efficient manner for the treatment of CNS disorders.
