The paper investigates how gut microbiota from male and female maternal immune activation (MIA) mice affects ASD-like behaviors in recipient mice, revealing sex-specific differences in gut reactivity and neuroinflammation.

This study transfers cecal microbiota between male and female mice to investigate how sex-specific gut microbes influence depressive-like behaviors, finding that female microbiota increases depressive-like behaviors while male microbiota reduces anhedonia-like symptoms.
