Introduction
The gut microbiota, which consists of trillions of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, has recently emerged as a key player in the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. Mounting evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating mood and behavior, leading to a burgeoning interest in the potential therapeutic implications of targeting the gut-brain axis for mental health disorders. This thesis aims to explore the role of gut microbiota in mood regulation, with a particular focus on how alterations in the gut microbiota composition can impact mental health.

Thesis Overview on The role of gut microbiota in mood regulation
The gut microbiota, consisting of trillions of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, has been increasingly recognized for its role in regulating various aspects of human health, including mood and behavior. This thesis aims to explore the complex relationship between the gut microbiota and mood regulation, with a specific focus on the potential mechanisms underlying this interaction and the implications for mental health disorders.
Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic, including the background of the study, the problem statement, the objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the structure of the thesis. Furthermore, key terms are defined to ensure clarity of concepts throughout the thesis.
Chapter 2 presents a thorough literature review on the gut-brain axis, gut microbiota composition and diversity, gut microbiota and neurotransmitter production, gut microbiota, inflammation, and mood disorders, gut microbiota and stress response, gut microbiota modulation strategies, animal and human studies on gut microbiota and mood regulation, and gut microbiota-targeted therapies for mental health disorders.
Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology, including the research design, sample selection, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, ethical considerations, validity, reliability, the pilot study, and statistical analysis. This chapter provides transparency and rigor to the research process.
Chapter 4 delves into a detailed discussion of the findings, focusing on gut microbiota composition in mood disorders, mechanisms of gut microbiota-brain communication, the impact of diet and lifestyle on gut microbiota and mood, microbiota-targeted interventions for mental health, future research directions, implications for clinical practice, limitations of the study, and recommendations for further research.
Chapter 5 concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings and insights from the study, discussing their implications for mental health research and clinical practice, and offering suggestions for future research directions. Overall, this thesis seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the role of gut microbiota in mood regulation and advance our understanding of the potential therapeutic implications of targeting the gut-brain axis for mental health disorders.
