Figure 9

Pearson correlation analysis in female mice exposed to alcohol-water and alcohol-synbiotic comparing behavioral parameters, including escalation (% baseline), relapse (% baseline), depression-like scores (immobility index), anxiety-like scores (buried marbles index), long-term memory (discrimination index in the NOR test) with gut microbial abundance, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA: butyric and propionic acids), tryptophan metabolites: Tryp (tryptophan), serotonin (5-HT), 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA), kynurenine (KYN), and neurotransmitters including GABA, dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) concentrations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HPC). Positive correlations are shown in black tones and negative correlations in red tones. Darker tones signify stronger correlations, with significance represented by asterisks (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
