Microbes and mental health - hype or hope at Researcher Lightning Rounds following TEDxYorkUSalon AutismInnovations on April 22 2017.
Researchers in psychiatry and neuroscience are increasingly recognizing the importance of microbiota to brain communication in mental health. Scientists have established the link between gut bacteria and anxiety-like behaviours in animal models and with emotional brain regions in healthy people. Work to date by our group and others suggest that microbiota influence brain structure, gene expression of stress-related and plasticity-related genes, stress-reactivity, and behaviour. Continued research in this area will help decipher the molecular mechanisms involved and will advance the use of microbiota-targeted therapies for use in clinical populations.
Dr. Foster is an active researcher in two large translational networks - the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Disorders Network (POND) and the Canadian Biomarkers in Depression (CAN-BIND). Dr. Foster is a known leader internationally in the area of microbiota-brain research. Dr. Foster’s research focuses on the role of immune-brain and gut-brain interactions on neurodevelopment, behaviour, and brain function.
