Effects of a multi-strain probiotic on hippocampal structure and function, cognition, and emotional well-being in healthy individuals: a double-blind randomised-controlled trial. Psychological Medicine, 1-11. doi: 10.1017/s0033291722000988

    Abstract:
    “Background: Evaluated whether daily supplementation with a high-potency multi-strain probiotic enhances emotional well-being, mood regulation, and hippocampal volume in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

    Findings: Comprehensive neuropsychological testing and high-resolution neuroimaging demonstrated consistent evidence in favor of the null hypothesis in healthy young individuals, showing no significant alterations in subjective emotional well-being or hippocampal structure.

    Conclusion: Healthy baseline microbiomes in young adults may resist probiotic augmentation, indicating that future gut-brain clinical interventions should focus on stressed or clinically depressed populations.”
