Alright so New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions.
When scientists transferred microbes from different primates into mice, the animals’ brains began to resemble those of the original host species. (let that sink in)
Microbes from large-brained primates boosted brain energy and learning pathways, while others triggered different patterns.
