The Gut-Brain Axis and Psychosis

Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In January, 2026, the Foundation featured Dr. Dolores Malaspina of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Description: The newest frontier in psychiatry is understanding how the healthy bacteria and other microorganisms that normally reside in the human gut ("the microbiome") protect against inflammation in the body and the brain. Inflammation of the brain's memory structure, the hippocampus, is well associated with psychosis. Lifestyle choices and health conditions can alter the composition of the gut microbiome, especially diet, which we found can impact the hippocampus. Diet has implications for understanding the origins of severe mental disorders, with improved diet presenting novel pathways to treat disorders. This talk concerns the gut and oral microbiome and diet, and also describes circulating inflammatory molecules and the autonomic nervous system, which link the gut to the brain.
