This study investigates the impact of gut microbiota on brain development and behavior in mice, revealing that germ-free (GF) mice exhibit increased motor activity and reduced anxiety-like behavior compared to specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice. The findings suggest that gut microbiota influences neuronal circuits related to motor control and anxiety, with early microbial colonization normalizing behaviors in GF mice. Additionally, alterations in neurotransmitter turnover and gene expression related to synap
