The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional network between the gut microbiota and the brain through which the gut microbiota interacts with the brain. The gut-brain axis impacts behavior and physiological function through neural, endocrine, and immunological pathways. Moreover, by targeting the brain through these pathways, gut microbiota can modify metabolism, homeostasis, central appetite, food reward signaling, and adiposity. This gut microbiota-mediated regulation plays a role in obesity. Hence, novel therapies are being developed to manage obesity by targeting the gut microbiota.
