DESCRIPTION:Genetic and environmental factors play a role in the cause and
  development of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as attention-defi
 cit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Rec
 ent studies have suggested an important role of the gut-brain axis (GBA) a
 nd intestinal microbiota in modulating the risk of ADHD. Here\, I will pro
 vide a brief overview of the clinical and biological picture of NDDs and h
 ow the GBA could be involved in their pathophysiology. I will briefly disc
 uss key biological mechanisms involved in the GBA and how these may increa
 se the risk of developing NDDs. I will share some of the results my group 
 (and our collaborators) have obtained showing the putative effects the GBA
  could have on (the risk of) NDDs (and related behavior). Understanding th
 ese mechanisms may help to characterize novel treatment options via identi
 fication of disease biomarkers.\n\n
