The role of microbiome, dietary supplements, and probiotics in autism spectrum disorder

While many pediatric studies have investigated the relationship between autism spectrum disorder and the microbiome-gut-brain axis (the communication between the gut microbiome and the central nervous system), this 2021 paper focuses on the potential role of this microbiome-gut-brain axis (MGBA) in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
