The liver-brain axis (LBA) is a bidirectional communication network integrating neural, humoral, and immune pathways.
-
2
LBA dysfunction is a core driver of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression.
-
3
The liver actively modulates peripheral neuroimmune responses, challenging the view of it as a passive metabolic organ.
-
4
Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting the LBA show potential for managing metabolic dysfunction-associated liver diseases and related psychiatric conditions.

The LBA facilitates critical inter-organ communication, influencing both metabolic status and neurocognitive functions.
