Do people with epilepsy have different populations of bacteria than people without epilepsy? Does successful AED treatment change the gut biota? The answers aren’t known; researchers are still studying what a “normal” gut biome looks like, or if there is such a thing.
Memories come in many different forms. There is much that researchers do not understand about human memory and how it works.
