REVIEW | Feeding gut microbes to nourish the brain: unravelling the diet–microbiota–gut–brain axis

Donald Trump's comments about paracetamol 'pose a real threat to public health' Department of Health said guidelines for use of paracetamol are not being changed

APC's Sarah @kittelschneider.bsky.social - @ucc.ie, has countered Trump’s Tylenol comments in this @irishexaminer.bsky.social article: "There is no evidence to say there is a negative impact on brain development from paracetamol"

It's been fun. Thanks for hosting us, beautiful Almería, and thanks to everyone at #EBPS2025 for making it a fantastic meeting. Hoping everyone has safe and easy travels. 🤞 See you at #EBPS2027 in Cork!

Amazing session at #EBPS2025 on sex differences in SUD, mood, & AD. @christinadalla.bsky.social organized a great group.

How to summarize the incredible amount of knowledge @jfcryan.bsky.social has produced in a 45minute talk. Incredible keynote this morning! #EBPS2025

A brilliant keynote today by @jfcryan.bsky.social at the EBPS meeting on how the gut shapes behavior, including striking causal evidence for microbiome’s role in social behaviors. A masterclass of body-brain complexity! & with an impressive depth of data and the right dose of humor!

A sixth president appears 🙂 #EBPS2025

A bit later than originally intended but delighted to have made it to Almeria for European Behavioural Pharmacology Society (EBPS) biennial meeting @eurbehavpharm.bsky.social #ebps2025

Kicked off #EBPS2025 with an interesting conversation on Inclusivity, Diversity, Equitability, and Accessibility in Science🧠 ft. @anadeutsch.bsky.social and Luis Contreras from @pact-lab.bsky.social 🤩

I had the pleasure of attending a psychedelics masterclass this afternoon chaired by Harriet de Wit with talks from Kathryn Cunningham, Chuck Nichols, @drfriid.bsky.social & @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social. From molecules to behaviour and practical steps in trial design #EBPS2025

Thrilled to be heading to Almería, Spain for #EBPS2025, where I’ll share the first results from our precision fMRI study on semaglutide and interoception, in a symposium organized by @sirileknes.bsky.social. Looking forward to sun, science, and pharmacology!

This article is truly impressive, both for the significance of its findings and the enormous amount of work it represents!

Briefly, it demonstrates that the gut-brain vagal axis exerts a considerable influence on dopamine-dependent reward-related processes...

What are the many “known unknowns” on the microbiome, exposome, & cognitive development?

Day 2 at #IUPS2025 in #Frankfurt: So many great talks today. Honoured to listen to Nobel Laureate Peter Ratcliffe on hypoxia but I can't lie, my favourite was a super insightful and interesting lecture (totally outside my field) from @jfcryan.bsky.social on the brain-gut axis! 🧠🦠🧪

Wonderful that BSc Government & Political Science third year student, Cian Walsh, will represent @ucc.ie on Wednesday on a panel analysing Ursula von der Leyen's State of the European Union address. Good luck! @jfcryan.bsky.social @joh2024.bsky.social

Brilliant talk on gut microbiome, brain, and development by John Cryan (Univ College Cork) #flux2025 “Microbiomes were here first - they’re like friends with (social) benefits.” Consider birth exposures, but remember microbiome is modifiable. @fluxsociety.bsky.social

Sensitive periods for microbiota development

Studies of germ-free mice

Cross-species studies of associations between microbiome and social behavior

John Cryan’s microbiota-social cognition talk was a revelation and made me want to eat some sauerkraut and give some to all my neighbors. 🥦 🫐 🧠 🍏 🥬 @jfcryan.bsky.social #flux2025

A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”
