Prof. Cryan profiled in Die Welt

Die Welt a german national daily newspaper features an interviewed with Professor John Cryan in which his research work on the effect of gut bacteria on mood is described, and his contribution to the study of gut microbes is recognised.
'Probiotic yoghurt is not only good for ones digestion, apparently it also effects our mood'. ' Researchers have discovered an interaction between gut and brain'.
In the Die Welt article 'Ein Löffel Joghurt gegen die Depression' - A spoonful of yogurt for depression, studies and publications from the Cryan lab and how gut microbes can effect mood are discussed.
'UCC researchers then were able to actually prove that the intestinal flora of the mice can virtually act as mood enhancers'.
'John F. Cryan is one of the first to have recognized and scientifically researched this'.
