Archaea methanogens are associated with cognitive performance through the shaping of gut microbiota, butyrate and histidine metabolism by Andrea Fumagalli, Anna Castells-Nobau, Dakshat Trivedi, Josep Garre-Olmo, Josep Puig, Rafel Ramos, Lluís Ramió-Torrentà, Vicente Pérez-Brocal, Andrés Moya, Jonathan Swann, Elena Martin-Garcia, Rafael Maldonado, José Manuel Fernández-Real, Jordi Mayneris-Perxachs

“…Interestingly, methanogen archaeas exhibited the strongest positive associations with cognition, particularly Methanobrevibacter smithii (M. smithii). Stratifying individuals by median-centered log ratios (CLR) of M. smithii (low and high M. smithii groups: LMs and HMs) revealed that HMs exhibited better cognition and distinct gut bacterial profiles (PERMANOVA p = 0.001), characterized by increased levels of Verrucomicrobia, Synergistetes and Lentisphaerae species and reduced levels of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. …”
