Welcome to our study at the Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience (CNSR) at UCLA! We are currently recruiting men and women for our study on sex-related differences in the brain-gut-microbiome axis.

The purpose of our study is to better understand the role of hormones, the communication between the brain and gut, and the impact of the gut microbiome on GI symptom severity in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation, and healthy controls. Compensation for participation is included.
