Postnatal colonization with human "infant-type" Bifidobacterium species alters behavior of adult gnotobiotic mice
15 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Accumulating studies have defined a role for the intestinal microbiota in modulation of host behavior. Research using gnotobiotic mice emphasizes that early microbial colonization with a complex microbiota (conventionalization) can rescue some of the behavioral abnormalities observed in mice that grow to adulthood completely devoid of bacteria (germ-free mice). However, the human infant and adult microbiomes vary...
