About the Cover

In recent years, it has been recognized that the brain-gut-microbiota axis is closely linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Duan et al. review the role of the most important microbial metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in PD, and highlight its potential therapeutic value. The cover image graphically illustrates the importance of gut health and SCFAs balance in PD, with the PD patient on the right walking on a diseased gut, stumbling unaided. The brain is also traumatized and emits a dark light. On the contrary, the PD patient on the left stands on a normal intestinal tract, happily practicing Tai Chi. The brain radiates light with a less pathological burden as a result. See pages 500–516. (Cover designed by Wenxiang Duan and Junyi Liu).
