The effect of psychoactive bacteria, Bifidobacterium longum Rosell ®-175 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus JB-1, on brain proteome profiles in mice

ConclusionThe psychobioticsBifidobacterium longum Rosell ®-175 andLactobacillus rhamnosus JB-1enhances expression of proteins involved in the activation and maturation of nerve cells, as well as myelination and homeostatic regulation of neurogenesis in mice. The tested psychobiotics cause a decrease in the expression of proteins associated with CNS development and in synaptic transmission, thereby reducing the capacity for communication between nerve cells. The results of the study indicate that psychobiotic bacteria can be used in auxiliary treatment of neurological disorders.
