摘要：
This research investigates a rationally designed microbial consortium's ability to modulate neurodegeneration in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease. The consortium, which produces neurometabolites like GABA, demonstrated significant neuroprotective effects, improving locomotor function and preserving dopaminergic neurons. The findings underscore the potential of microbiome-based interventions in neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting the importance of gut-brain interactions and metabolic cross-feeding. This innovative approach positions the study within the realms of biotechnology and brain science, suggesting avenues for early-stage investment.
