| 0:00.0 | An exploratory study has identified a link between gut bacteria and post-traumatic stress disorders |
| 0:09.8 | that could bring us closer to fathoming the mechanisms of this complex condition. |
| 0:16.2 | Estimates for the United States suggest that 60% of men and 50% of women will experience at least |
