DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207081
Abstract: Background and Objectives The use of over-the-counter laxatives is common in the general population. The microbiome-gut-brain axis hypothesis suggests that the use of laxatives could be associated with dementia. We aimed to examine the association… read more here.
