Behavioral Changes Occur Due To Intestinal Bacteria

[Igor_Passau]

oronto : A recent research revealed that intestinal bacteria affect the human brain leading to changes in behavior. Researchers from McMaster University have come up with a new evidence showing that intestinal bacteria has an affect on brain chemistry and behavior.

Stephen Collins a professor of medicines at McMaster said “The exciting results provide stimulus for further investigating a microbial component to the causation of behavioral illnesses”.

These findings are imperative as many common types of gastro diseases like irritable bowel syndrome are associated with anxiety and depression. And according to the journal Gastroenterology report some psychiatric disorders like late onset autism can be due to abnormal bacterial growth in the intestine.

Collin said experiments were also conducted on healthy adult mice which showed behavioral changes when given oral antibiotic but when these antibiotics were stopped they returned to their normal behavior.

This is interesting... I take paxil for anxiety; I often suffer from insomnia as well.
