Psychobiotics: a novel class of psychotropic. (2013, background): “It has been suggested that the microbially produced GABA in the gut may have an effect on the brain-gut axis and Roshchina (12) indicates that a subspecies of Lactobacillus is capable of producing acetylcholine, another essential neurotransmitter in the human brain.”
Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics- a review (2015, background): “The afore mentioned hypothesis can be addressed by understanding the role of BMicrobial endocrinology^- Probiotics synthesize as well as respond to the neuroactive compounds (Roshchina 2010).”
Evaluating Topological Models of Neuromodulation in Polyworld (2014, background): “In fact, these molecules have a rich history in evolution, serving diverse functions across kingdoms (Roshchina, 2010).”
Indigenous bacteria from the gut microbiota regulate host serotonin biosynthesis (2015, unknown): “Some bacteria, including Corynebacterium spp., Streptococcus spp., and Escherichia coli, are reported to synthesize 5-HT in culture (Roshchina, 2010), but this is believed to occur independently of Tph, by decarboxylation of tryptophan to tryptamine (Williams et al., 2014), as seen in plants…”
