Big congrats to Heather Danhof and @FirasMidani and the Rob Britton lab @BrittonTML on getting this work out. It was a massive project and remarkable demonstration of microbe-gut-brain function and I look forward to see where this science goes forward. @tmcddc @BCMFromtheLabs Infant gut microbiomes contribute to metabolic states that impact brain function biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
