Role of Gut-Brain Axis in the Aetiology of Neurodevelopmental Disorders with Reference to Autism

It is quite known that defects in brain function especially in children usually may result in neuro-developmental disorders such as intellectual disability, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, and learning disabilities which is reflected in disabilities to communicate, move or behave. These symptoms usually change with age, although some children may develop permanent disabilities. Diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders often involves a combination of professional therapy, pharmaceuticals, and homeand school-based programs, though, achievement of successful results is difficult [1].
