Postnatal colonization with human "infant-type" Bifidobacterium species alters behavior of adult gnotobiotic mice.

Postnatal colonization with human "infant-type" Bifidobacterium species alters behavior of adult gnotobiotic mice.

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 gr...
