“Could this affect⟳ how people think⟳ and feel⟳? Evidence is mounting for a link⟳ between the gut and the brain in what is termed the psychobiome—part of the microbiome—that does just that. The substances that the various bacteria, viruses and fungi produce⟳ may go directly into the bloodstream and infiltrate blood vessels, or they may stimulate the vagus nerve that connects the gut and the brain.”
