Abstract

Recent results related to investigation of the role of intestinal microbiota (IM) in development and functioning of the human nervous system are discussed. The role of the microbiota in bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system is considered. Special attention is paid to the primary IM of infants, which is actively involved in formation of immune and other physiological mechanisms, including the nervous system, and is responsible for the subsequent general and psychical health of a human. The results of research on ability of the commensal intestinal microflora to produce neuroactive compounds, including neurotransmitters, short- and long-chain fatty acids, γ-aminobutyric acid, etc., are summarized. These compounds may have a considerable effect on development and functioning of the central nervous system, including the brain. Research on various animal models is discussed, including investigation of IM effect on behavior, learning abilities and memory, anxiety and depression levels, reaction to emotional stimuli, and stress resistance. A special section deals with probiotic bacteria, which are presently considered as psychobiotics with preventive and therapeutic potential for treatment of neurological and neurophysiological disorders. Development of new paradigms and concepts, rejection of some classical concepts of neurobiology is presently the key condition for the future breakthrough in investigation of human nervous activity.
