Cell type and synapse-specific definition of memory circuits in microbiota-deficient mice
Mathieu Thabault, Melanie Depret, John F. Cryan, Linda Katona · FENS Forum 2024
Memory is essential for behaviour, and it is supported in the brain by neuronal representations formed in the hippocampus and related structures. The gut microbiome can influence the brain and modify complex behaviours through interactions reported by the gut-brain-axis. Perturbations to the composition of the gut microbiome by environmental or genetic factors impact on mood and motivation and may affect memory. The strongest associations between gut microbiota, brain and memory originate from studies in germ-free mice, which are deprived of their microbiome from birth. The absence of microbes
