Additional reporting on our recent post (Wednesday, May 16, 2018) ......titled "How the Gut Influences Neurologic Disease"

“The beauty of this paper is that it provides a very detailed mechanistic understanding of how things work,” Jonathan Kipnis, a neuroscientist at the University of Virginia who did not participate in the study, tells The Scientist. Previous research linked the microbiome and the development of MS in mice, he says, but “we never understood how the gut communicates with the brain.”

Researchers find a link between molecules released by commensal bacteria and the degree of inflammation in a mouse model of MS.
