One such mediator is the gut microbiome, which communicates with the brain through the gut\u2013brain axis and has been implicated in various neurological disorders. Alterations in the gut microbiome have been associated with numerous neurological and other diseases, and restoration of the dysbiotic gut has been shown to improve disease conditions. One method of restoring a dysbiotic gut is via fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), recolonizing the \u201cdiseased\u201d gut with normal microbiome. Fecal microbiota transplantation is a treatment method traditionally used for Clostridium difficile infections, but it has recently been used in neurodegenerative disease research as a potential treatment method. This review aims to present a summary of neurodegenerative research that has used FMT, whether as a treatment or to investigate how the microbiome influences pathogenesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24021001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,5]],"date-time":"2023-01-05T03:12:15Z","timestamp":1672888335000},"page":"1001","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["The Role of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4121-6794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie-Anne T.","family":"Matheson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience and Dementia, School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia"},{"name":"Neuroscience, School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4447-0835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.
