Abstract

Mentalne bolesti postaju sve češće te se još uvijek istražuju njihovi uzroci i moguća liječenja. Danas se sve više istražuje os mozak-crijeva kao mogući uzrok te općeniti utjecaj crijevne mikrobiote na mentalno zdravlje. U ovom radu dan je pregled mogućih načina komunikacije između mozga i crijeva, različitih faktora koji utječu na mikrobiotu crijeva i mozak te utjecaj specifičnih bakterija na specifične bolesti. Također su prezentirani mogući tretmani za mentalne bolesti u obliku probiotika i prehrane koja obogaćuje crijevnu mikrofloru
