Gut microbial genetic variants modulate host exploratory behavior via metabolic changes

Caption

The study systematically revealed that gut microbial genetic variations at the single-nucleotide resolution influence host cognitive exploratory behavior by regulating metabolites. The study further highlighted that microbial single nucleotide variations can affect host neural behavior by modulating related metabolites.
