Gut-brain axis appears to play a critical role in aggression

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

A series of experiments on mice has found that they become more aggressive when their gut microbiome is depleted.

Antibiotics, commonly used to treat bacterial infections, can disrupt the composition of the normal gut microbiota by killing bacteria, including beneficial ones.

Researchers found that mice raised without gut bacteria and those treated with antibiotics exhibited higher levels of aggression compared to the control group.

The study was conducted on mice, not on humans.

While mice and humans share many physiological similarities, they are still very distinct species.

Because of this, effects on humans might not be identical.
