Vagus Nerve as Modulator of the Brain-Gut Axis in Psychiatric and Inflammatory Disorders.

TL;DR: Various functions of the vagus nerve are discussed, which make it an attractive target in treating psychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders and preliminary evidence for gut bacteria to have beneficial effect on mood and anxiety, partly by affecting the activity of thevagus nerve.

Inflamed moods: a review of the interactions between inflammation and mood disorders.

TL;DR: This synthetic review is to review the evidence for an association between inflammation and mood disorders, to discuss potential pathophysiologic mechanisms that may explain this association and to present novel therapeutic options currently being investigated that target the inflammatory-mood pathway.

Anxiety and depression comorbidities in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In conclusion, anxiety and depression symptomatology should be systematically checked and treated in IBS patients, as psychological factors are important moderators of symptom severity, symptom persistence, decisions to seek treatment, and response to treatment.

Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue

TL;DR: Transcript expression in perigonadal adipose tissue from groups of mice in which adiposity varied due to sex, diet, and the obesity-related mutations agouti (Ay) and obese (Lepob) found that the expression of 1,304 transcripts correlated significantly with body mass.

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
