Gut-Brain Axis
Introduction
The gut-brain axis is the bidirectional and biochemical signaling system between the central nervous system (CNS) and the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). (1) In broad terms, the gut-brain axis consists of the central nervous system, sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system (including the enteric nervous system and the vagus nerve), neuroendocrine and neuroimmune systems (including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), and the gut microbiota.
