Description
The gut and brain are connected through a complex communication network known as the gut-brain axis. In this webinar, we will explore the latest research on the relationship between the intestinal microbiome and behavior, with a focus on studies involving Bifidobacterium longum BL999®. We will discuss the mechanisms behind gut-brain communication and review scientific evidence supporting the role of specific bacterial strains in promoting emotional wellbeing and helping dogs cope with stress.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the key components and pathways involved in gut-brain communication.
- Explain how the intestinal microbiome can influence behavior and emotional responses in dogs.
- Understand the concept of psychobiotics and their role in modulating the gut-brain axis.
- Review the scientific evidence supporting the effects of Bifidobacterium longum BL999® on canine behavior.
- Discuss the practical implications of gut-brain axis research for managing stress-related behaviors in dogs.
