Bacteria discovered in healthy vertebrate brains point to a potential role in brain function

Researchers at the University of New Mexico have identified the presence of bacteria in the healthy brains of fish.

Understanding this connection between bacteria and animal brains could have future implications for the study of Alzheimer's disease.

Brain bacteria in healthy salmonids are present at a density similar to that of the spleen and, as expected, much lower in the gut.

The team is currently trying to seek funding to support this line of work further.

Salinas is excited to collaborate with any other researchers to continue answering questions about brain microbiomes.

"There are a lot of applications for human health, but there are also really interesting questions that we can ask about the importance of this brain microbiota," said Salinas .
