The vast amount of gut microbiota demonstrates the ability to modulate brain function. Unlike the brain, the gut microbiota is highly accessible to direct interventions such as prebiotics, probiotics and antibiotics, and can be manipulated by lifestyle choices including diet. The dendrites of neurons are the main input compartment, and proper dendritic growth and arborization are critical for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. Most studies of dendritic growth have shown that the dendritic growth process is extremely dynamic. Although there is some evidence that the gut micro
