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🦠🧠

Acute stress triggers the release of stress hormones such as cortisol, increasing stress reactivity and aiding post-stress recovery. Rodent studies re…
