Highlights •Age-related cognitive deficits and neuronal injury occurred in aged mice.•The gut microbiota in aged mice appeared to represent a proinflammatory phenotype.•Intestinal barrier and blood-brain barrier injuries were induced in aged mice.•LPS-activated TLR4 pathway contributed to age-related peripheral inflammation.•LPS/TLR4 pathway activation was involved in age-related neuroinflammation.
