US EditionGut imbalances in autism linked to brain and behavior changes
- A new USC study links gut microbiome dysbiosis to autism symptoms in children, published in Nature Communications.
- Previous research found connections between gut health, brain activity, and autism-related behaviors.
- Researchers studied 43 autistic and 41 neurotypical children aged 8-17, collecting data and stool samples.
- Lisa Aziz-Zadeh stated gut metabolites impact the brain, which in turn affects behavior in autistic children.
- The study suggests this imbalance might disrupt neurotransmitter production, potentially opening new treatment avenues for autism.

Gut imbalances in autism linked to brain and behavior changes
A new USC study suggests that gut imbalances in children with autism may create an imbalance of metabolites in the digestive system - ultimately disrupting neurotransmitter production and influencing behavioral symptoms.
3 Ways Nurses Can Better Support Their Autistic Patients - Daily Nurse
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental condition that includes a range of characteristics that influence how someone communicates, learns, and behaves. Some traits include repetitive behaviors, restrictive interests, and difficulty socializing with others.

Gut-brain link behind behavioural symptoms in children with autism - tennews.in: National News Portal
New Delhi, April 14 (IANS) Imbalance in the digestive system may disrupt brain signals and influence behavioural symptoms in children with autism, according to a study on Monday. Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) demonstrated that gut metabolites impact the brain, and the brain, in turn, affects behaviour. The study, published in the […] The post Gut-brain link behind behavioural symptoms in children with autism appear…
Gut Imbalances in Autism Linked to Brain and Behavior Changes
New research reveals that gut imbalances in children with autism may influence brain activity and behavior by disrupting the production of key neurotransmitters like serotonin. Scientists found that changes in gut-derived metabolites are linked to differences in brain structure and function in children with autism.
