Gut-Brain Link: How Vitamin B12-Producing Gut Bacteria Influence Neurotransmitters
Link in Bio
Summary: A new study reveals a molecular link between gut bacteria producing vitamin B12 in the roundworm C. elegans and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, crucial for memory and cognitive function.
Researchers found that certain bacteria reduced seizures in mutant worms, and they all shared the ability to produce B12. B12 helps regulate choline levels,…
