A neurotransmitter produced by gut bacteria modulates host sensory behaviour.

Nature - 1 Jul 2020

O'Donnell Michael P, Fox Bennett W, Chao Pin-Hao, Schroeder Frank C, Sengupta Piali

Abstract excerpt

Animals coexist in commensal, pathogenic or mutualistic relationships with complex communities of diverse organisms, including microorganisms1. Some bacteria produce bioactive neurotransmitters that have previously been proposed to modulate nervous system activity and behaviours of their hosts2,3. However, the mechanistic basis of this microbiota-brain signalling and its physiological relevance are largely...
