Infant colic is a characteristic group of behaviors seen in young infants. The most prominent feature is prolonged crying. Additional characteristics, including clenching of the fists and flexion of the hips, have led to the suggestion that these behaviors are related to abdominal discomfort. In this article, we show emerging evidence to support the concept that infant colic could represent gut inflammation and microbial dysbiosis that impacts brain function and even brain development.
婴儿肠绞痛是一种在婴幼儿中出现的特征性行为群组。最突出的特征是长时间哭泣。其他特征,包括紧握拳头和髋关节弯曲,这提示这些行为与腹部不适有关。在本文中,我们展示了支持婴儿肠绞痛可能代表肠道炎症和微生物失调影响大脑功能甚至大脑发育这一概念的新证据。
