Our lab is interested in exploring the relationship among gut microbiota, host brain, and behavior. Microbiota-Gut-Brain axis is involved in various neuropsychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, stress, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), etc. Investigating the bidirectional communication between gut microbiota and brain will allow us to understand the role of intestinal bacteria in host behavior and develop the alternative therapies for mental disorders.
