## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The proposed Data Processing and Analysis Core (DPAC) will provide the advanced microbiome,
metabolomics and neuroimaging tools and technologies necessary to analyze the interactions of
neurobiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the brain-gut-microbiome axis, sex differences in this
system, the influence of hormones on systems, and sex related differences in the effect of cognitive behavioral
therapy on emotion and salience circuits. Elucidation of brain-gut-microbiome pathways cannot be achieved by
analysis of microbiome and neuroimaging data sets in isolation. Integration of these distinctive `omics data sets
to find biologically meaningful relationships, represents a frontier in bioinformatics that will be critical to identify
novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for IBS.
