If you want to find more on this topic then the relevant search words would be the Gut-brain Axis or Gut-brain connection.
Wikipedia has a starting point:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut%E2%80%93brain_axis

Studies have confirmed that gut microbiome contribute to range of brain functions controlled by the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and amygdala (responsible for emotions and motivation) and act as a key node in the gut-brain behavioral axis.[9]

Honestly I don't have one at hand, but I remember it quite distinctly as it's tied into research into neurodivergence.
