Adolescence is a time period of ongoing neuro-cognitive development, allowing brain structures and circuities to flexibly adapt- or maladapt to the environment. In this context, gut microbiota might play be a causal role as a mediator between the environment and the CNS via multiple pathways. As easily manipulated throughout diet, it could be a promising and cheap therapy target in the redirection of neurodevelopmental trajectories and improving the mental health outcome for the individual.
