Özet

Psychobiotics, defined as beneficial microorganisms that enhance neurological and mental well-being when administered at appropriate doses, have emerged as a significant therapeutic frontier for managing neurological disorders. These microbes influence the central nervous system through several pathways, including modulating the gut microbiota, synthesizing neuroactive metabolites and neurotransmitters, regulating immune responses, and preserving the intestinal barrier. Growing research suggests that psychobiotics may help prevent and manage various brain disorders by mitigating neuroinflammation, supporting brain health, and improving neuronal signaling. This chapter examines the mechanisms and properties of psychobiotics, focusing on their roles in neurotransmitter production and therapeutic potential across various neurological conditions.
