One peer-reviewed article that discusses the role of the gut-brain connection in mental health is “The gut-brain axis: interactions between enteric microbiota, central and enteric nervous systems” by Clapp, Aurora, Herrera, Bhave, and Philpott, published in Annals of Gastroenterology in 2017. The article discusses how the gut microbiome and the brain communicate bidirectionally through various pathways, collectively known as the gut-brain axis. The authors review evidence suggesting that imbalances in the gut microbiome and disruption of gut-brain communication may contribute to the development of mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
