Considering that humans consist of more non-human species than cells, it is critical to understand the impact of the microbiome on diseases. As Alzheimer’s disease becomes a more and more pressing issue, it may be possible to combat it or slow its progress by understanding how alterations in the gut microbiome, which can influence functions in the brain in a variety of ways, affect its development.Gut bacteria can produce neurotransmitters such as melatonin, gamma-aminobutyric acid, histamine, and acetylcholine, which can contribute or antagonize neuroinflammation and neurofibrillary tangles. It is best to balance beneficial bacteria with harmful bacteria. Additionally, using probiotics and altered diets can serve to change gut microbiome composition and influence Alzheimer’s disease development. It is important to understand microbiome-cell interactions and utilize that information to create new therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease through forms like diets, probiotics, and interventional procedures.
