Gut bacteria generate neurotransmitters that shape the neonatal immune sys
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers discovered that specific bacteria colonise the gut shortly after birth and produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, which educates gut immune cells. This helps to prevent allergic responses to both food and microbes during early development.
