The gut microbiota plays a significant role in neurodevelopment through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, which regulates various physiological processes. This influence occurs through three pathways: the immune pathway, the neuronal pathway, and the endocrine/systemic pathway, with overlaps and crosstalks between them.
Accumulating studies have identified the role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Rett Syndrome
The gut microbiota can affect brain gene expression, neurotransmitters, and [microglia]…
