Researchers find gut-brain connection for social development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behaviour, new UO research in zebrafish shows. Pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.
