Gut-Microbiota-Brain Axis in Neonates and Infants
Recent advances in next generation sequencing have improved our understanding of the important role of gut microbiota in influencing brain development and function; i.e: 'gut-microbiota-brain' (GMB) axis. This is a bi-directional pathway where brain and gut microbes share detailed communications through immunological pathways, hormones and metabolites. GMB plays a crucial role in early brain development and function and impacts on long-term neurodevelopment and neurobehaviour. Understanding these roles is important to understand effective management and potentially prevention. This presentation will cover important aspects of GMB development, physiology, function and translation in clinical medicine for neonates and infants.

Advances in Enteral Nutrition in High-Risk Neonates
Infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (very preterm and extremely preterm, term infants with HIE, term infants with surgical gut conditions) are at high-risk of suboptimal nutrition. They are at increased risk of poor growth and neurodevelopment in subsequent life. Improved enteral nutrition has been associated with better weight gain and improved neurocognitive outcomes in infancy , childhood and adolescence.
This presentation aims to assess advances in enteral nutrition strategies across the different high-risk infant groups to highlight new research and optimize clinical care.
