    The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional network that plays a crucial role in regulating neuroinflammation.

  • 2

    Memory T cells in the gut undergo differentiation and functional reprogramming, influencing neuroinflammatory disorders.

  • 3

    Three mechanisms through which memory T cells promote neuroinflammation include molecular mimicry, bystander activation, and epigenetic imprinting.

  • 4

    Gut-derived memory T cells can migrate across the gut-brain barrier, linking peripheral immune responses to central nervous system inflammation.

  • 5

    Gut microbiota profiling and memory T cell phenotyping provide diagnostic evidence related to the gut-brain axis and neuroinflammation.
