Description: The goal of the workshop is to identify opportunities garnered through innovative technologies from the BRAIN Initiative https://braininitiative.nih.gov/ and gut-microbiome fields to accelerate mechanistic research on how gut-microbiota affects the function of brain circuits involved in complex behaviors, including those associated with mental illnesses. The workshop will discuss the latest findings relevant to mechanisms and pathways of the gut microbiota-brain interaction and applications of new technologies toward advancing this field of research. Registration will be open soon and the final agenda and Zoom details will be provided closer to the meeting date.
