It is widely accepted that mental states are influenced by bodily processes (Blascovich & Mendes, 2010), but it is time to expand the concept of “body” to include the 10 trillion microorganisms that live on and inside of humans (P. Kramer & Bressan, 2015; Sender, Fuchs, & Milo, 2016). Collectively known as the microbiome, these organisms include fungi, archaea, and viruses, but chief among them are bacteria—which, as recent investigations have uncovered, seem to influence virtually all facets of the human experience (Anderson, Cryan, & Dinan, 2017). This review outlines the ways in which bacteria shape affect, cognition, neurological processing, social relationships, development, and psychological pathologies. In an interdisciplinary effort, biological and clinical scientists have carefully seeded this new research terrain, and psychological scientists have an important role to play in cultivating the soil—both theoretically and empirically.

微生物与思想：细菌的形状如何影响，神经过程，认知，社会关系，发育和病理

人们普遍认为精神状态会受到身体过程的影响（Blascovich和Mendes，2010年），但现在是时候将“身体”的概念扩展到包括生活在人类内部和内部的10万亿种微生物了（P. Kramer和Bressan，2015年； Sender，Fuchs和Milo，2016年）。统称为微生物组，这些生物包括真菌，古细菌和病毒，但其中主要是细菌，正如最近的调查发现的那样，细菌似乎几乎影响着人类体验的各个方面（Anderson，Cryan和Dinan，2017年）。这篇综述概述了细菌形状影响，认知，神经系统处理，社会关系，发育和心理病理的方式。在跨学科的努力中，生物学和临床科学家精心地为这一新的研究领域注入了种子，而心理学家在理论和经验上都在土壤耕种方面发挥着重要作用。
