Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of primary IgA and/or IgG immunodeficiencies on the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) among patients at a Boston medical center.
- Results indicate that patients with these immunodeficiencies have a higher prevalence of CRS (12%) compared to those with normal levels (5%).
- However, the immunodeficient group does not show statistically significant differences in acute rhinosinusitis episodes or the need for surgical interventions compared to the normal group.

The gut microbiota contribute to social activity in mice, but the gut-brain connections that regulate this complex behaviour and its underlying neural basis are unclear. Here we show that the microbiome modulates neuronal activity in specific brain regions of male mice to regulate canonical stress responses and social behaviours.
