Recent research has found that a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus murinus, present in dairy products, could potentially alleviate symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Conducted on genetically modified mice exhibiting autism-like behaviors, the study demonstrated that daily administration of the probiotic improved brain adaptability and cognitive functions. This pioneering discovery hints at a natural approach towards managing autism symptoms, potentially supplementing existing therapies with fewer side effects, as autism affects approximately 1 in 36 children in the US and remains without a definitive causal understanding.
Scientists have identified a probiotic in dairy fermentation that may help alleviate and reverse some autism symptoms in genetically modified mice.
The treatment with Lactobacillus murinus in mice led to improved social interactions and brain adaptability, suggesting a potential natural method for autism symptom management.
