Early-life vancomycin and meropenem treatment exert distinct effects on microbiota-gut-brain axis signalling in zebrafish larvae

The microbiota-gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication pathway between the gastrointestinal tract, gut microbiota and the central nervous system, that influences host neurobiology, metabolism and behaviour. Although germ-free and antibiotic-treated animals demonstrate a role for microbial signalling in mood and behaviour, mechanisms linking microbiome disruption to altered neural…
