Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease of transient brain dysfunction caused by imbalance between excitation and inhibition of central nervous system.Gut microbiota can affect the functional signals of the brain through brain-gut-microbiota axis.At the same time,brain signals can also affect microbial activities and gastrointestinal physiology.This article reviews the recent research progress on changes of intestinal microorganisms in epilepsy patients and possible mechanism of intestinal microorganisms affecting epilepsy.
