Alterating The Gut Microbiome By Microbiota Transplantation From Depressed Patients Into Germ-Free Mice Results In Depressive-Like Behaviors Through A Pathway Mediated By The Host’s Metabolism

TLDR
It is demonstrated in these experiments that gut microbiota can physiologically induce depression-like behavior in mice and that dysbiosis of the gut microbiome may have a causal role in the development of depressive-like behaviors, in a pathway that is mediated through the host’s metabolism.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: A New Therapeutic Attempt from the Gut to the Brain.

TL;DR: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a biological therapy that entails transferring the gut microbiota from healthy individuals to patients in order to reconstruct the intestinal microflora in the latter as mentioned in this paper.

Gut microbiota alteration and modulation in psychiatric disorders: Current evidence on fecal microbiota transplantation.

TL;DR: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as mentioned in this paper has been used to induce dysbiosis and to study the disease development, or to heal dysbiotic-related mental disorders by altering neurodevelopment, enhancing neurodegeneration, affecting behaviour and mood.
