Journal ArticleDOI
The Gut Microbiota Mediates the Anti-Seizure Effects of the Ketogenic Diet
Christine A. Olson,Helen E. Vuong,Jessica Yano,Qingxing Y. Liang,David J. Nusbaum,Elaine Y. Hsiao +5 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that the gut microbiota modulates host metabolism and seizure susceptibility in mice, including reductions in systemic gamma-glutamylated amino acids and elevated hippocampal GABA/glutamate levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Microbiome and Host Behavior.
TL;DR: Evidence linking dysbiosis of the gut microbiota to neurobehavioral diseases, such as autism spectrum disorder and major depression, is assessed, drawing upon findings from animal models and human trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Roles for the Gut Microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Helen E. Vuong,Elaine Y. Hsiao +1 more
TL;DR: Reports of microbial dysbiosis in ASD are reviewed and potential effects of the microbiota on ASD-associated symptoms are discussed, drawing on signaling mechanisms for reciprocal interactions among the microbiota, immunity, gut function, and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maternal microbiome modulates fetal neurodevelopment in mice.
Helen E. Vuong,Geoffrey N. Pronovost,Drake W. Williams,Elena J.L. Coley,Emily L. Siegler,Austin Qiu,Maria Kazantsev,Chantel J. Wilson,Tomiko K. Rendon,Elaine Y. Hsiao +9 more
TL;DR: Findings show that the maternal gut microbiome promotes fetal thalamocortical axonogenesis, probably through signalling by microbially modulated metabolites to neurons in the developing brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal serotonin and fluoxetine exposure modulate bacterial colonization in the gut
Thomas C. Fung,Helen E. Vuong,Christopher D.G. Luna,Geoffrey N. Pronovost,Antoniya A. Aleksandrova,Noah G. Riley,Anastasia Vavilina,Julianne McGinn,Tomiko K. Rendon,Lucy R. Forrest,Elaine Y. Hsiao +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown to increase the relative abundance of spore-forming members of the gut microbiota and enhance mouse colonization by Turicibacter sanguinis, a gut bacterium that can take up 5-HT and modulate systemic lipid homeostasis.
