The New York Times has profiled the work of Professor John Cryan in an article entitled, 'Germs in Your Gut Are Talking to Your Brain. Scientists Want to Know What They’re Saying'.
In this exciting article, The New York Times journalist Carl Zimmer explores the work of Prof Cryan, explaining how Cryan 'continues to turn up remarkable links between the microbiome and the brain'. He details how Prof Cryan and other 'scientists are finding evidence that microbiome may play a role not just in Alzheimer’s disease, but Parkinson’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, autism and other conditions'.
