This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Approximately one-fifth of people in the United States will experience clinical depression during their lifetime. This common disease has been linked to alterations in the gut microbiome. However, the mechanisms aren’t clear. In a recent study, researchers investigated whether the immune system plays a role in the microbiome–depression link. They found that patients with depression had elevated levels of certain types of bacteria that induce maturation of Th17 immune cells and the abundance of one of these species, Clostridium symbiosum, was also elevated in mice with depressive-like behaviors. Transplanting feces from humans with depression into mice lacking a microbiome reduced sociability in the mice and made them more susceptible to learned helplessness, an animal model of depression. The depressive effect depended on Th17 cells, as mice without these immune cells weren’t susceptible..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
