A growing body of evidence from laboratory and clinical studies highlights a substantial relationship between gut microbiota and HE. Identifying the role of gut microbiota in maintaining normal cognitive function, including its influence on the gut barrier and immune cells, is essential to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the development of HE. This understanding offers novel perspectives for its prevention and treatment. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research progress concerning the gut microbiota, HE, and their interrelationship, along with current treatment methods for HE. Furthermore, it outlines the limitations and challenges associated with microbiota-based therapeutic research.展开更多
