autism
Early interventions targeting the infant gut microbiota, especially in babies born by C-section, may reduce the probability of neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism.
Maintaining a healthy gut barrier and microbiota, through diet or other interventions, could help prevent bacteria from reaching the brain, helping maintain neurological health.
Future studies should have clearly defined hypotheses, adequate sample size, standardized protocols, and replication using multiple independent approaches.
