Researchers from Bar-Ilan University (BIU) led by Professor Omry Koren, from BIU’s Azrieli Faculty of Medicine in Israel have found that a disrupted gut microbiome due to antibiotic use in infancy can lead to aggression later on, causing changes to aggression-related genes, according to a recent September 23 2024 report in New Atlas. Said Professor Omry Koren, “disrupted microbiome during critical developmental periods can lead to persistent aggressive behaviors later in life.”

 

Aggression is a complex social behavior associated with survival modulated aggression, including by specific genes, neurotransmitters, environmental factors, and hormones especially Serotonin which is produced in our gut, according to New Atlas.
