Neuroscience Café: "The Brain-Gut Connection"
There is growing evidence showing a connection between Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition, and the composition of the microbiome of the gut. Parkinson’s disease, and medications to treat Parkinson’s, have distinct effects on the composition of the trillions of bacteria that make up the gut microbiome.

The Neuroscience Café series is hosted by the UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center and local libraries.
