''The researchers believe that their work, which uses a human bacteria species to promote oxytocin levels and improve social behavioral deficits in deficient mice, could be explored as a probiotic intervention for the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders in humans.''

What does ''explore'' mean in here? Is it ''taken'' in terms of understanding the work of the researchers or is it the equivalent of ''analyze'' or something different? Thank you for your help, in advance.

Thank you for your help, I grasped the meaning of the explore in here, yet, since I am trying to translate it, could you offer a synonym for the word explore in here? I could not find an exact equivalent in my own language.
