Probiotics and inflammation in the brain

"Dose-Dependent Immunomodulation of Human Dendritic Cells by the Probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lcr35."

I'm working on my report for a urinary tract & vaginal infection we treated with probiotics, (among other things), and stumbled upon this. Basically, this certain strain of bug you can take in a capsule these days produces signaling molecules that are healthy for the brain cells via a anti-inflammatory mechanism. A great studies on probiotics and babies - the PANDA study - showed significant decreased allergies and skin reactions in newborns as a result of probiotics. I always think of allergies, skin and the brain as related because they are embryologically and things that tend to show up on the skin may have already had an impact on the brain - like increased histamine in the springtime due to allergies. There's no arguing against the brain fog there.

Thought it was interesting. I'll have to check if it's in the probiotic blend I'm currently taking. It's good to rotate probiotics clinically, so that would go along with the dose dependent nature of this study.
