Review
Key finding
Sets out what psychology can and cannot currently conclude from microbiome research.
In plain language
A deliberately sceptical review from the psychology side. Valuable for understanding where the field is overclaiming.
How much weight this carries
Studies disagree, or the popular version of the claim runs ahead of the data.
