Abstract

The interaction between the gut microbiome and the brain is increasingly recognized as a potential cause for pathophysiology. With a variety of mechanisms for altering host central nervous system (CNS) function, including tryptophan metabolism and releasing modulatory metabolites, the human microbiome is emerging as a target for the development of therapies against disorders such as anxiety and depression. In this review, the gut microbiota and the microbiome-gut-brain axis will be discussed. Then, the mechanisms by which gut microbiota interacts with the CNS with a focus on anxiety and depression will be outlined. Following this, potential mechanisms whereby Alistipes may modulate behaviour including the inflammatory, serotonin and secondary metabolites hypotheses are highlighted. Throughout the review controversies involving these pathways are mentioned. Elucidating a mechanism for a clear link between Alistipes and anxiety/depression may lead to novel approaches to treating these disorders.

Stored with the screening record, where it is evidence for the labels above.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
