(Go ahead, have a linking extravaganza.)

Recent studies have focused on the role of gut microbiota in modulation of the enteric and central nervous system functions, including behaviour (Bravo et al., 2011; Foster & McVey Neufeld, 2013; Mayer, Tillisch & Gupta, 2015; Forsythe et al., 2016; Sarkar et al., 2016). This rapidly emerging field employs classical psychological tests of behaviour to begin to understand better how the gut microbiome and the brain interact in health and in models of disease (Collins, 2014; Mayer et al., 2015; Sarkar et al., 2016). Many of these tests involve assessment of social behaviour and interaction (Tarr et al., 2015; McKim et al., 2016; Bharwani et al., 20172016) and it has come to our attention only recently that olfaction has for some time been recognized as playing an important part in these activities (Huckins, Logan & Sanchez‐Andrade, 2013; Ezenwa & Williams, 2014).  Full article with references.
