Breast Milk: Possible Mechanisms to Shape the Behaviour and Cognitive Functions of a Child
https://doi.org/10.15690/vsp.v17i5.1956
Abstract
The article discusses the possible relationship between breast milk oligosaccharides, the composition of the intestinal microbiota of an infant and his behaviour shaping. The data of research studies performed both on the model of laboratory animals and among children, devoted to the study of the effect of intestinal microbiota on shaping behavioural features and cognitive functions is presented.
