Antibiotics
strong enough to kill off gut bacteria can also stop the growth of new brain
cells in the hippocampus, a section of the brain associated with memory,
reports a study in mice published May 19 in Cell Reports. Researchers
also uncovered a clue to why a type of white blood cell seems to act as a
communicator between the brain, the immune system, and the gut.
Antibiotics
were given to mice, enough to free them of intestinal microbes and the others
weren’t. They were the tested for a memory test and the mice that ingested the
antibiotics were worse at this test than the ones that didn’t. This has been
proven countless times.
