    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Microbiology
    • Neuroethics

    Background:

    • The human microbiome plays a critical role in brain functioning and psychological well-being.
    • Emerging research links the microbiome to the modulation of stress and anxiety responses.
    • The composition of the microbiome raises neuroethical questions about human individuality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the neuroethical implications of the microbiome's influence on the central nervous system.
    • To address the reception of new knowledge regarding the microbiome and its clinical applications.
    • To propose a shift in metaphorical thinking to overcome biases against gut-related health interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent scientific studies on the microbiome-brain axis.

  • Analysis of neuroethical perspectives on individuality and microbial communities.
  • Examination of psychological and cultural biases affecting the acceptance of microbiome-based therapies.

    • Main Results:

    • The microbiome influences the central nervous system, impacting stress and anxiety.
    • The concept of individuality may be challenged by the understanding of the microbiome's role.
    • Negative attitudes towards gut-related interventions, like fecal microbiota transplantation, can hinder clinical progress.

    Conclusions:

    • A neuroethical framework is needed to understand the microbiome's impact on individuality and mental health.
    • Overcoming the 'high-low' metaphor associated with the gut is essential for unbiased reception of microbiome research.
    • Adopting an 'inside-outside' metaphor can foster acceptance of microbiome-targeted health strategies, improving physical and psychological outcomes.
