Gut Microbes
Gut microbes from higher-scoring donors improved learning in mice
An eight-week experiment using 13 male human donors found better maze performance in mice given gut microbes from donors with higher processing-speed scores.An eight-week experiment using 13 male human donors found better maze performance in mice given gut microbes from donors with higher processing-speed scores.

Who was studied39 adult male C57BL/6 mice, against mice receiving lower-scoring donors’ microbiota
What changedMaze path efficiency was higher with higher-scoring donors’ microbes: 0.289 against 0.201 with lower-scoring donors’ microbes
The catchMicrobiota were sampled at a single timepoint, potentially missing changes over time
