(A) Juvenile mice born to influenza virus-infected mothers and controls received a single dose of antibiotic via oral gavage, or vehicle. This paradigm of gut microbiota manipulation prevents MIA-induced cognitive deficits in adult mice. (B) Offspring mice born to influenza virus-infected mothers and controls were allowed to reach adulthood (left side of the panel). Juvenile mice born to control mothers received a single dose of antibiotic via oral gavage, or vehicle. After this manipulation, juvenile mice received fecal microbiota transplantation from adult MIA or mock mice (right side of the panel). Novel object recognition was tested in adult animals (n = 5 – 7 for (A) n = 5 – 13 for (B)). Two-way ANOVA (A) F[1,38] = 135.6, p < 0.001, see also Table S1; (B) (left side of the panel), F[1,40] = 19.76, p < 0.001; (B) (right side of the panel), F[1,20] = 40.14, p < 0.001). Bonferroni’s post hoc test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n.s., not significant). Data show mean ± s.e.m.
