Metabolic profiling of the gut-brain axis as a new stratification process to improve behavioural disorders: proof of concept in alcohol dependence
• The Gut2Behave project was initiated from ERA-NET NEURON network (Joint Transnational Call 2019 – Translational biomarkers in brain disorders)
• The Gut2Behave project will establish a set of biomarkers involved in gut-brain axis to control emotional and cognitive functions to better stratify patients and to design innovative treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
• The Gut2Behave project innovates in the scientific rationale and health care for psychiatric diseases that require personalized approach.
• The Gut2Behave consortium gathers 4 research groups from Belgium, France, and Finland with complementary expertises such as:
1) host physiology with emphasis on management of AUD
2) intervention studies based nutritional strategy targeting the gut microbiota
3) gut-brain axis for control of emotional and cognitive functions
4) untargeted metabolomics
