New Study: The Secret to Slower Brain Aging Might Be in Your Poop

Arpana Church @arpanachurch.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Brain aging doesn’t begin when we get older but biological signals are detectable decades earlier. Linking early brain changes with gut microbiome, we identify pathways that help us understand who are at risk & where we can intervene. lnkd.in/gbrNak48 @domucla.bsky.social

R01 "PROBE:Probiotic Regulation Of Gut-Microbiome-Brain Interactions in Obesity and Eating Behaviors" has been funded! PROBE will investigate whether a targeted probiotic can modify gut–microbiome–brain signaling in obesity and eating behaviors. @uscpress.bsky.social @domucla.bsky.social

Join us for the final talk of this year’s #WHSS with @arpanachurch.bsky.social 🤩 This talk will explore how environmental stressors influence the brain-gut microbiome system, increasing risk of obesity - especially in women and marginalized populations 🔍 Register: ow.ly/PYRp50VtYHX
