Increased left hemisphere theta band activity (4–6 Hz) predicted lower caregiver-reported language and motor skills, and increased left hemisphere beta activity (13–30 Hz) predicted reported motor skills at 17 months. Increased infant gamma power (30–48 Hz) in the left hemisphere was associated with higher observed language and gross motor skills at 36 months.

This review explores how maternal diet, microbiota composition, probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics during pregnancy and lactation influence the microbial and neurodevelopmental trajectory of newborns. Evidence suggests that prenatal microbial transfer begins in utero, while birth mode and breastfeeding strongly shape early microbial colonization.
