Probiotic Influences on Motor Skills: A Review

Curr Neuropharmacol. 2023 Aug 7. doi: 10.2174/1570159X21666230807150523. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effects of probiotics have mostly been shown to be favorable on measures of anxiety and stress. More recent experiments indicate single- and multi-strain probiotics in treating motor- related diseases. Initial studies in patients with Parkinson's disease and Prader-Willi syndrome are concordant with this hypothesis. In addition, probiotics improved motor coordination in normal animals and models of Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury as well as gripstrength in hepatic encephalopathy. Further studies should delineate the most optimal bacterial profile under each condition.PMID:37550907 | DOI:10.2174/1570159X21666230807150523
