The Secret to Big Gains? Healthy Gut Bacteria #inmice | SciShow News

The video discusses recent research on the role of gut bacteria in muscle gain, highlighting a study on mice that shows the importance of an intact gut microbiome for muscle growth. The study found that mice with healthy gut bacteria developed stronger muscles compared to those treated with antibiotics. The video also explores the potential for future research to identify compounds produced by gut bacteria that could aid muscle growth. Additionally, it covers a study on zebra finches, where researchers used brain activity to predict the birds' songs, with implications for understanding human speech.
