Depression is the most common mental disorder and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite abundant research, precise mechanisms underlying pathophysiology depression remain elusive. Accumulating evidence from preclinical clinical studies suggests that alterations in gut microbiota, microbe-derived short-chain fatty acids, D-amino acids metabolites play key role via brain–gut–microbiota axis, including neural immune systems. Notably, axis might crucial susceptibility versus resilience rodents exposed to stress. Vagotomy reported block depression-like phenotypes after fecal microbiota transplantation "depression-related" microbiome, suggesting vagus nerve influences through axis. In this article, we review recent findings regarding discuss its potential as therapeutic target for depression.

Accumulating evidence suggests that spleen affects number of brain functions in health and diseases via modulation. Systemic inflammation or chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) can cause splenomegaly rodents.

The gut microbiota is a complex and dynamic ecosystem known as the ‘second brain’. Composing microbiota-gut-brain axis, its metabolites regulate central nervous system through neural, endocrine immune pathways to ensure normal functioning of organism, tuning individuals’ health disease status. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), main bioactive microbiota, are involved in several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression.
