Early-Life Penicillin Exposure: Gut Microbiome and Brain Gene Expression

Volkova et al. (2021) investigated the effects of early-life exposure to low-dose penicillin on the gut microbiome and gene expression in brain regions critical for neurodevelopment. Using a mouse model, the study provides important insights into how antibiotics may influence the gut-brain axis and potentially contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. Background …

Gut Microbiota and Neurodevelopment in Infancy

The relationship between gut microbiota and neurodevelopment has been a growing area of interest in recent years. Tamana et al. (2021) provide compelling evidence of how gut microbiota composition in late infancy correlates with cognitive, language, and motor development, particularly among male infants. Background Gut microbiota, often referred to as …

Screen Time and Cognitive Outcomes in Extremely Preterm Children

Vohr et al. (2021) conducted a cohort study examining the relationship between screen time and various developmental outcomes in children born extremely preterm (EPT). The findings highlight the influence of high screen time on cognitive, executive, and behavioral functions at school age. This post reviews the study’s context, results, and …
