Figure 1:. Extrinsic- and intrinsic factors affect post-stroke outcomes that are regulated by the host gut microbiome.
A recent emerging avenue is to understand the role of gut microbiome mediated through the microbiota-gut-liver-brain axis. The communication between the gut and the brain is regulated through the top-down and bottom-up signaling pathways regulated via liver metabolism which remains understudied.
