Beyond a gut feeling : how the immune system impacts the effect of gut microbiota in neurodevelopment

Hooks et al. posit that gastrointestinal microbes alter the end state of development indirectly. Here, we present the immune system as the link that facilitates communication between the gut and the brain. Illustrating the case of autism spectrum disorder, we explicate the role of the immune system...
