Microbes found to play a key role in shaping early brain development

New research from Michigan State University finds that microbes play an important role in shaping early brain development, specifically in a key brain region that controls stress, social behavior, and vital body functions.

Microbes Help Shape the Developing Brain Before and After Birth

Microbes in the Womb and at Birth Help Sculpt the Newborn Brain

New research reveals that microbes play a crucial role in shaping a newborn’s brain both before and after birth. Using a mouse model, scientists showed that the absence of maternal microbes during pregnancy led to fewer neurons in the PVN—a brain region essential for stress, social behavior, and body regulation—regardless of whether the newborn later received microbial exposure.
