Scientists discover gut bacteria that may help protect against autism and ADHD

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between a baby's earliest biological programming, the gut microbiome, and later brain development. The findings, published in Cell Press Blue, suggest that epigenetic changes present at birth can influence how gut bacteria develop during infancy. The study also found links between specific epigenetic patterns, certain gut microbes, and signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADH...
