Early-Life Microbiota Perturbations and Behavioral Effects.

Early-Life Microbiota Perturbations and Behavioral Effects. Trends Microbiol. 2019 May 15;: Authors: Francis AP, Dominguez-Bello MG Abstract The maternal environment, during the prenatal and postnatal periods, is a determinant of offspring development and health. Perturbations during these periods can affect maternal behaviors and maternal-infant bonding, and also impair transmission of maternal microbiota to the offspring. Impaired microbiota has been associated with alterations of offspring cognitive development and behavior. PMID: 31103277 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
