In our new study at @univie.ac.at , gut microbiome composition was linked to stress reactivity. Higher microbial diversity and inferred butyrate-producing capacity were associated with stronger cortisol reactivity, which may reflect a more adaptive response. 🧠🦠

Happy to share that my first PhD paper @univie.ac.at is now out in Neurobiology of Stress! 🎉 With @isabellacwagner.bsky.social, @davidberry1.bsky.social & Paul Forbes, we investigated how the gut microbiome is linked to acute stress reactivity in humans🦠🧠 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
