The relation between the gut and the brain is being carried out by many different systems, including the nervous, autonomic, endocrine and immune systems. Evidence builds up on the role that the microbiome plays in regulating these interactions in the gut-brain axis, through peptide hormone release from intestinal bacteria. Although much more needs to be investigated, the microbiome seems to be an important regulator in brain signaling, and thereby in health and stress-related psychiatric illnesses like depression. Anti-depression treatments are currently being researched which involve probiotics as standalone therapy and as a supplement to conventional medications.
