The gut microbiota has been suggested to alter the physiology and function of the brain. Discuss molecular and cellular mechanisms by which the gut microbiota could affect the brain. Give examples of scientific evidence supporting a role for the gut microbiota in brain function, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of this evidence. (This is a neuroscience question)

. The character (s) is fictional. The description of the disease/disorder is based on information from Mulvihill, M.L.; Zelman, M.; Holdaway, P.; Tompary, E.; Turchany, J. (2000) Human Diseases. A Systemic Approach. Prentice Hall, New Jersey. Nerve Tissue Diseases: Tetanus1 While visiting his aunt that lives on a horse farm, Milo fell and injured his knee. His aunt cleaned the wound and covered the area with bandage. A week later, Milo was taken to the hospital because he could not open his jaws or swallow food. The doctor explained that a bacteria called tetanus bacillus that lives in animals’ intestines had entered the wound on Milo’s knee. The bacterium produced a strong toxin that stimulated Milo’s motor nerves innervating his jaws causing severe spasm of the muscles. Help Milo understand his condition by completing the following tasks: A. Draw and label the parts of amotor neuron. B. Draw a diagramto explain how myelin sheaths speed up the conductionof impulses through the…

Detailedly answer the following:
A 24-year-old patient was admitted to a psychiatric hospital with a diagnosis of Hysterical Neurosis. He had complains of headaches, irritability, nausea, poor sleep. During conversation with a doctor the patient demonstrated groans, sobs, the urge to vomit, the presentation of unsubstantiated claims to medical staff. On examination: signs of somatic and neurological pathology were not detected. A day later, during a conversation with a doctor, the patient had an emotional "explosion" (shouting, crying, moans, chaotic movements), followed by a short loss of consciousness and the development of hysterical paralysis of the left hand. Questions: 6. What disorders of sensory sensitivity can develop in this disease? 7. What diseases risk factor is neurosis?
