Key subjects of interest
We are typically interested in the potential role of gut microbiota on early aspects of motor, social and cognitive development in humans; the influence of gut-derived microbial molecules such as “bacterial peptidoglycan fragments” on typical and atypical brain development; the role of bacterial peptidoglycans and their sensing molecules in brain and behavior across the life span or the potential beneficial effects of psychobiotic diet in early life on motor, social and cognitive development.
