Project Description:
Depression is a serious mental health concern, impacting quality of life through effects on daily function, social interaction, and stress-related impairments. The proposed research will determine if gut microbiota differences between two unique rodent models of depression and resilience are responsible for their differences in depression-related behavior and social interactions. This study will involve both behavioral testing and tissue/fecal sample analysis.
