Session title: Prebiotics and Cognition - A Review and Future Directions for Human Intervention Studies
Prebiotics have been tested in preclinical and human intervention studies for their effects on cognition. In this presentation, these studies are reviewed together with a list of recommendations to move the field forward. Specifically, we stress the need to perform studies in healthy participants that test the potential “rescuing” effects of prebiotics under conditions where cognition may be transiently compromised. Ultimately, such studies would allow better estimation of the magnitude.
