- Specific gut microbes, such as Firmicutes and Veillonellaceae , are linked to schizophrenia outcomes.
- Gut-targeted therapies, including probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplants, show promise in improving schizophrenia treatment.
- Further studies should explore gut-brain mechanisms, environmental factors, and diverse populations to tweak treatment approaches.
