15 Summary Antibiotics-induced dysbiosis causes gut inflammation and sickness behaviour Dysbiosis causes BDNF signalling modulation in the hippocampus Dysbiosis induces microglia/astrocytes phenotypic changes in the brain Dysbiosis induces electrophysiological changes in hippocampal pyramidal neurons Probiotic daily treatment reduces sickness behaviour and brain biochemical/functional changes Restoring the balance of the microbiota gut brain axis offers promising beneficial therapeutic effects in neurodevelopmental disorders associated with gastrointestinal pathologies.
