The Human Biome and Human Behaviour A Biopsychological Perspective

This book by Jorge A. Colombo represents a careful update and critical discussion of a theme that underlines the biological conditioning of human physiology and behaviour since early postnatal days. The human gut microbiome constitutes a dynamic, interactive component of human physiology since earlier days of individuals under normal conditions, exacerbated/modified under pathological and inadequate nutritional conditions. It covers fundamental domains of the interactions involving gut microbiome, diet, behaviour, poverty, and child development. The book calls the attention on open issues involving conceptual themes on human neurobiological integration and its impact on crucial developmental and social domains.

I happily endorse the book by Jorge Colombo who is the most prominent neuroanatomist and behaviorist and writer and painter - the man of Renaissance proportions indeed. I, as well as many people in my field (Neuroglia), are constantly referring to many of his seminal discoveries. I sincerely believe that this new book will be another milestone.
