Abstract
Gut microbiota play an important roles in host patho-physiological functions; however, whether or not they can affect brain function has not been extensively studied so far. Several recent works, including ours have shown that gut microbiota can affect the stress responses and behavioral phenotypes of the host. We here reviewed recent advances in this knowledge concerning, i.e. the interaction between gut microbiota and brain function, based on our series of experimental data series.
