Description

<jats:title>Animal sociability through microbes</jats:title> <jats:p> Accumulating evidence suggests that the microbiota living in and on animals has important functions in the social architecture of those animals. Sherwin <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> review how the microbiota might facilitate neurodevelopment, help program social behaviors, and facilitate communication in various animal species, including humans. Understanding the complex relationship between microbiota and animal sociability may also identify avenues for treating social disorders in humans. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" related-article-type="in-this-issue" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aar2016">eaar2016</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
