Characteristics of Interactions between Gut Microbiota and Degenerative Brain Diseases

Social needs are increasing due to the increase of degenerative brain diseases because of the aging society. The most common type of degenerative brain diseases is Alzheimer s disease and Parkinson s disease, which makes most of cases. New scientific challenges indicate that gut microbiota are directly associated with the progress of degenerative brain diseases through triggering metabolic diseases, modulating immune response, and changing diversity of microbial community.
