Need more proof our gut bacteria influences our brain? How about our memory?

The labs identified four families of microbes that were associated with improved memory, including Lactobacillus, L. reuteri, in mice. To sparse out which microbe molecules were connected to memory, they found that Lactate was a common metabolic molecular byproduct, a molecule that all Lactobacillus strains produce. They fed lactate or Lactobacillus microbes to mice which increased their levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a molecular messenger linked to memory formation in their brains.
Admitting that these same connections need to be verified in humans, Snijders believes that it might be possible one day to use probiotics to improve memory in targeted populations, such as people with learning disabilities and neurodegenerative disorders.
