In the last decade, emerging evidence has reported correlations between gut microbiome and human health disease, including those affecting brain. We performed a systematic assessment of available literature focusing on bacterial metabolites their associations with diseases central nervous system (CNS). The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as well non-SCFAs like amino acid (AAMs) amyloids are des...
