a. Your hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that connects the top of your thighbone (femur) to the socket in your pelvis (acetabulum). It allows for smooth movement and stability.

Abstract:
The gut microbiome has emerged as a key player in regulating the bidirectional communication between the brain and the gut. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the gut microbiome in the modulation of psychosocial symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. In this review, we discuss the current state of research on the relationship between the gut microbiome and psychosocial symptoms, with a focus on studies conducted in the last 5 years. We summarize the evidence for the bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiome and psychosocial symptoms and highlight the...
