These interplays provide a link between intestinal and central nervous system as well as feedback from cortical and sensory centers to enteric activities, which also influences physiology and behavior in depression. This review aims to overview the significant role of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the pathophysiology of depression and gut-brain axis’s contribution to depressive disorders.

It also explores molecular and cellular adaptations in the LC that contribute to resilience, including roles of neuropeptide, inflammatory cytokines, and genetic modulation, and addresses developmental and sex differences in stress vulnerability.

Advances in digital speech processing and artificial intelligence have revolutionized objective speech analysis. Given the complex nature of speech impairment, acoustic speech analysis offers unique biomarkers for neuroprotective treatments from the prodromal stages of PD. Digital speech biomarkers can monitor levodopa-induced motor complications, detect the effects of deep brain stimulation, and provide feedback for behavioral speech therapy. This review updates the mechanisms underlying speech impairment, the impact of speech phenotypes, and the effects of interventions on speech. We evaluate the strengths, potential weaknesses, and suitability of promising digital speech biomarkers in PD for capturing disease progression and treatment efficacy. Additionally, we explore the translational potential of PD speech biomarkers to other neuropsychiatric diseases, offering insights into motion, cognition, and emotion. Finally, we highlight knowledge gaps and suggest directions for future research to enhance the use of quantitative speech measures in disease-modifying clinical trials. The findings demonstrate that one year is sufficient to detect disease progression in early PD through speech biomarkers. Voice quality, pitch, loudness, and articulation measures appear to capture the efficacy of treatment interventions most effectively. Certain speech features, such as loudness and articulation rate, behave oppositely in different neurological diseases, offering valuable insights for differential diagnosis.

Action constructions are formed through two contiguous survival strategies: generalization strategies, which are used when encountering new threats and ecologies. Generalization strategies are associated with cognitive representations that have high dimensionality and which furnish flexible psychological constructs, including relations between threats, and imagination, and which converge through the construction of defensive states. We posit that generalization strategies drive ‘explorative’ behaviors including information seeking, where the goal is to increase knowledge that can be used to mitigate current and future threats. Conversely, specialization strategies entail lower dimensional representations, which underpin specialized, sometimes reflexive, or habitual survival behaviors that are ‘exploitative’.
