There is increasing interest in the interactions among the gut microbiota, gut, and brain, which is often referred to as the “microbiota-gut-brain” axis. Biogenic amines including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamines are all generated by commensal gut microorganisms and are suggested to play roles as signaling molecules mediating the function of the “microbiota-gut-brain” axis. In addition, such amines generated in the gut have attracted attention in terms of possible clues into the etiologies of depression, anxiety, and even psychosis.
Humans co-exist with a vast number of microorganisms and there has been increased research interest in uncovering the role of gut bacteria in maintaining health of the host. Accumulating evidence points to a major role of the gut microbiota in not only normal gut function but also in brain development and function. The recognition of such interactions between gut microorganisms and the brain has led to a new research field commonly referred to as the “microbiota-gut-brain” axis.
