Improved effect of antibiotic treatments on the hippocampal spatial memory dysfunction of mice induced by high fluoride exposure: Insight from assembly processes and co-occurrence... by Ning Sun, Jinge Xin, Zhifang Zhao, Yu Chen, Baoxing Gan, Lixiao Duan, Jiuyang Luo, Dandan Wang, Yan Zeng, Kangcheng Pan, Bo Jing, Dong Zeng, Hailin Ma, Hesong Wang, Xueqin Ni

“…High fluoride exposure was widely demonstrated to be related with brain memory impairment. Since the absorption of F- enters the body mainly through the gastrointestinal tract, studying the effects of excessive intake of fluoride on brain memory function in various gut microbiome states might have profound implications for the prevention of fluorosis because growing evidence revealed the significance of the “microbiota-gut-brain” axis (MGBA). …”
