From lungs to brain: the neuroimmune impact of respiratory microbiota
Emerging data suggest that the respiratory system functions as an immunometabolic interface capable of influencing neuroimmune regulation and brain function. Integrative approaches combining respiratory microbiota profiling, immune biomarkers, and neuroimaging may help clarify causal mechanisms and support the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for neurological and post-infectious conditions.
