Probiotics seem to decrease autism-like symptoms in mice, according to a new study.
December 5/Pasadena, Calif./Huffington Post -- Probiotics seem to decrease autism-like symptoms in mice, according to a new study.
When California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researchers treated mice bred to display autism-like behaviors with a probiotic therapy, they found that the mice were more communicative, less anxious and less likely to engage in repetitive digging behavior. The findings are published online in the December 5 issue of the journal Cell.
