The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that maternal probiotic supplementation is associated with infant gut microbiome variation and improved neurodevelopmental outcomes as measured by ERP performance in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs), a cohort that is at-risk for recognition memory abnormalities.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Infant auditory recognition ERP performance at 1 month: P200 amplitude | At one month of age, an auditory recognition memory ERP will be performed. Components of interest will be the P200 amplitude (in microvolts) The P200 is a positive component of the ERP waveform and a measure of early perceptual processing of stimuli. | 1 month of age |
| Infant auditory recognition ERP performance at 1 month: Negative slow wave difference score | At one month of age, an auditory recognition memory ERP will be performed. Components of interest will be latency in milliseconds. The area under the curve of the negative slow wave (NSW, a late slow-resolving component if the ERP waveform, which is thought to index detection of a novel stimulus against the background of familiar stimuli). | 1 month of age |
| Infant visual recognition ERP performance at 6 months: Slow wave difference score | At 6 months of age, visual-evoked potential ERP paradigms will be performed. We will be measuring the latency and amplitude of the N290, a negative component occurring between 150-400ms (representing face processing), the amplitude of the negative central (NC) component, occurring between 350-700ms and thought to index attention, and the area under the curve of the slow-resolving positive component occurring between 900-1500ms that indexes memory updating. | 6 months of age |
| Infant VEP performance at 6 months: latency to peak of P100 | The main component of interest in the VEP waveform is a large positive wave peaking at about 100 ms (P100). We will be looking at the latency to the peak of the P100 component (milliseconds) as a measure of speed of processing. | 6 months of age |
