The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, interacting with every other major organ system to continuously maintain homeostasis. Thus it is not surprising that the brain also interacts with our microbiota, the trillions of bacteria and other organisms inhabiting the ecosystem of the human being. As we gather knowledge about the way that our microbiota interact with their local environments, there is also increasing interest in their communication with the brain.
大脑是人体中最复杂的器官，与其他主要器官系统相互作用，以持续维持体内平衡。因此，大脑也与我们的微生物组相互作用也就不足为奇了，微生物组是指栖息在人类生态系统中的数万亿细菌和其他生物体。随着我们对微生物组与局部环境相互作用方式的了解不断增加，人们对它们与大脑的交流也越来越感兴趣。
