To provide an objective and low-invasive method for evaluating a subject's higher brain functions.SOLUTION: A method for measuring one or more higher brain functions selected from execution function, attentive function and cognitive flexibility includes the step of measuring, in a biological sample taken from a subject, at least one of the ratios of the numbers of bacterial strains classified as Bacteroides, Ruminococcus, Streptococcus, Parabacteroides, Dorea and Actinomyces to the total number of bacterial strains.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】被験者の高次脳機能を評価するための、客観的で、低侵襲的な方法を提供する。【解決手段】被験者から採取された生体試料中のバクテロイデス属、ルミノコッカス属、ストレプトコッカス属、パラバクテロイデス属、ドレア属及びアクチノマイセス属のそれぞれの属に分類される菌種数の総菌種数に対する比率の１以上を測定する工程を含む、実行機能、注意機能及び認知柔軟性から選択される１種以上の高次脳機能の測定方法。【選択図】なし
