A study conducted by researchers at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in China explored the role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in the protective effect of pair-housing on post-stroke depression (PSD). The study used a mouse model of PSD induced by occluding the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) and restraint stress. The results showed that pair-housed mice had better performance on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors compared to PSD mice, and their intestinal flora was improved. Pair-housing also improved gut barrier disorder and inflammation caused by PSD. However, these improvements were reversed when the mice were given antibiotic water. The researchers concluded that pair-housing significantly improves PSD through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, and the homeostasis of gut microbiota is necessary for this protective effect.
