Psychoses d’origine infectieuses :
« la vieille distinction cartésienne entre corps et esprit devient de moins en moins pertinente ». Une étude, parue dans le Journal of Central Nervous System Disease, vient éclairer de manière particulièrement édifiante ce que les psychiatres étudient désormais sous le nom de « psychoses d’origine infectieuse », ces maladies mentales plongeant probablement leurs racines dans une contamination bactérienne ».

Influence des bactéries sur le comportement :
« brain-directed behaviors, which influence the manner in which animals interact with the external world, may be deeply influenced by that animal’s relationship with the microbial organisms living in its gut »
« The microbe-free animals were more active and, in specific behavioral tests, were less anxious than microbe-colonized mice ».
« these bacteria have been implicated in the development of neurological and behavioral disorders ». « They modulate immune tolerance and, because of this, they may have an influence on autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis ». « They have been shown to influence anxiety-related behavior, although there is controversy regarding whether gut bacteria exacerbate or ameliorate stress related anxiety responses ». « A newly developed biochemical test for autism is based, in part, upon the end products of bacterial metabolism ».
