The Critical Period Microbiota Shape Brain Plasticity

Francesca Damiani, Kousha Changizi Ashtiani, Andrea Tognozzi, Sherif Abdelkarim, Sara Cornuti, Matteo Caldarelli, Pierre Baldi, Paola Tognini

This study shows that gut microbiota disruption during critical periods of visual cortex development impairs ocular dominance plasticity in mice, and fecal transplantation restores it.

Isabella Caranzano, Tiziana Sanavia, Pietro Liò, Pierre Baldi, Piero Fariselli

This paper shows that biologically informed neural networks (BINNs) cannot reliably recover internal biological structures from outputs alone due to nonidentifiability.
