Microbes may hold the key for treating neurological disorders

When we think about the causes of neurological disorders and how to treat them, we think about targeting the brain. But is this the best or only way? Maybe not.

The findings, published in the journal Cell, also suggest that microbe-inspired therapies may one day help to treat them.
