Abstract:
With people's understanding and development of autoimmune-related diseases of the nervous system, the level of diagnosis and treatment has improved significantly. However, the etiology of some autoimmune diseases of the nervous system is still unknown. There is a close relationship between gut microbiota and nervous system immunity. The research and discussion on the flora will help clarify the pathogenesis and prevent the progress of diseases in the field of preventive medicine. This article summarizes the latest research progress in order to provide new ideas.
