    TITLE: Gut bacteria and digestive metabolites are linked to psychopathic traits

    URL: psypost.org/gut-bacteria-and-d

    Specific bacteria in the gut and mouth, along with the chemical byproducts of digestion, are associated with traits like emotional detachment and impulsivity. These findings suggest that the microscopic organisms living inside the human body might play a role in shaping complex personality characteristics. The research was published in Translational Psychiatry.

    The human body is home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the microbiome. These bacteria, viruses, and fungi do a lot more than digest food and fight off infections. They communicate directly with the central nervous system through a network of chemical signals, hormones, and immune responses called the gut-brain axis.

    Previous research links this biological pathway to mood disorders like depression and anxiety. More recently, researchers have started looking at how the microbiome relates to everyday personality traits and social behavior.

    Psychopathy is a personality construct defined by emotional detachment, a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a tendency toward impulsivity. In a clinical setting, it affects roughly one percent of the population. The exact biological mechanisms behind these traits remain poorly understood.

    Carolina F.F.A. Costa, a researcher at the University of Porto and the University of Oxford, led a team to investigate this knowledge gap. The researchers wanted to see if the bacteria in the gut and mouth could be tied to subclinical psychopathic traits in the general public.

    The researchers recruited 200 adult volunteers from the community in Portugal. The participants were screened to remove individuals who had taken antibiotics in the prior three months, as those medications drastically alter intestinal bacteria. The volunteers completed extensive self-report questionnaires designed to measure their levels of psychopathy, empathy, and anxiety.

    These psychological assessments measured several distinct components of personality. The psychopathy survey looked at interpersonal manipulation, affective callousness, an erratic lifestyle, and antisocial behavior. Empathy was measured by testing how well participants could understand the perspectives of others and share their emotional states.

    Alongside the psychological assessments, participants provided stool, saliva, and blood samples. The research team used a laboratory technique called DNA sequencing to identify the specific types of bacteria present in the gut and oral microbiomes. They also analyzed the samples for metabolites, which are the small molecules left behind when the body or bacteria break down food.

    The researchers first grouped the participants based on their psychological survey scores. A computer algorithm separated the volunteers into four distinct groups characterized by varying levels of psychopathy and anxiety. As expected, participants who scored high in psychopathic traits tended to score lower in overall empathy.

    Next, the team examined the bacterial makeup of the participants. They found that the overall richness of the microbiome, meaning the total number of different species present, did not vary among the four psychological groups. Any initial correlations between total diversity and psychopathy were not statistically significant after adjusting for the ages of the participants.

    While overall diversity did not differ, the abundance of specific bacterial families did show a relationship with personality traits. In the gut, bacteria from the groups Allisonella and Prevotella, as well as a species called Cloacibacillus evryensis, were positively associated with higher psychopathy scores.

    Participants with elevated levels of traits like an erratic lifestyle and emotional callousness had higher amounts of these specific intestinal bacteria. In the mouth, a bacterial species called Treponema vincentii showed a negative association, meaning it was less abundant in individuals with higher psychopathy scores.

    Many of these specific bacteria have known biological roles that could influence the brain. Allisonella is known to produce histamine, a chemical that triggers immune responses and inflammation. Chronic inflammation in the body can send stress signals directly to the brain, which often influences mood and behavior.

    Cloacibacillus evryensis has the genetic potential to produce gamma-aminobutyric acid in the gut. This specific chemical acts as an inhibitory signal in the central nervous system, helping to regulate impulsivity and self-control. Prevotella has been previously associated with differences in how the brain processes emotional and sensory stimuli.

    After identifying the bacteria, the researchers looked at the metabolites in the stool and blood samples. Out of over 200 molecules analyzed, two stood out in the stool samples: glucose and taurine. Both molecules were found at elevated levels in the group of participants who scored high in both psychopathy and anxiety.

    When looking at the scores on a sliding scale, higher levels of fecal glucose and taurine correlated positively with traits like antisociality and interpersonal manipulation. Glucose serves as the primary energy source for the body. The digestive tract contains specialized sensors that detect glucose and send metabolic updates to the brain.

    Finding elevated glucose in feces suggests a disruption in how energy is extracted from food and absorbed into the bloodstream. Previous studies have noted abnormal glucose metabolism in the brains of individuals with high psychopathic traits, suggesting a potential link between energy use and behavior.

    Taurine is an amino acid primarily produced by the liver, and it is involved in brain development and anxiety regulation. It normally binds to bile acids to help digest fats, and gut bacteria eventually separate the taurine from the bile. Finding excess free taurine in stool can indicate that the gut is struggling to absorb nutrients properly, or that specific bacterial populations are overgrown.

    Finally, the team cross-referenced the bacterial data with the metabolite data. They found that higher levels of Allisonella in the gut predicted higher amounts of both glucose and taurine. This suggests that specific gut bacteria might be altering energy metabolism in ways that ultimately relate to personality expression.

    The researchers note several caveats to their findings. The study relies on observations at a single point in time, meaning it cannot prove that gut bacteria cause psychopathic traits. It is equally possible that the behaviors associated with psychopathy, such as dietary choices or physiological stress responses, alter the microbiome.

    The participants were volunteers from the general community rather than individuals with clinical diagnoses. The findings relate to subclinical personality traits, which may not fully represent the severe psychopathy seen in forensic settings.

    The psychological data came from self-reported surveys. While these are standard tools in psychology, they are subject to personal bias, as individuals may lack self-awareness or alter their answers to appear more socially acceptable. Future research using animal models could help determine if altering gut bacteria directly changes behavior.

    The study, “Gut and oral microbiota composition is associated with psychopathic personality: a cross-sectional study,” was authored by Carolina F.F.A. Costa, Daniel Radford-Smith, Alexandre R.T. Figueiredo, Rita C.M. Ribeiro, Sofia Pinto, Fay Probert, Renata Barros, Paula Serrão, Luisa Barreiros, Marcela A. Segundo, Daniel C. Anthony, Fernando Barbosa, Philip W.J. Burnet, and Benedita Sampaio-Maia.

  10. 🧿 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑴𝒄𝑳𝒆𝒐𝒅: 𝒅𝒆𝒍 𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐 𝒅𝒆 𝑬𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂 𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒖𝒆𝒏̃𝒐 𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐 🧿

    El 11 de mayo de 1930, una joven escocesa de 17 años llegó a Nueva York tras cruzar el Atlántico con apenas 50 dólares en el bolsillo.
    Se llamaba Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, y venía de uno de esos lugares donde el viento parece más fuerte que las personas: la isla de Lewis, en las Hébridas Exteriores.

    Su pueblo, Tong, no tenía nada que ver con la idea de “oportunidad”.
    Allí la vida era dura, casi de supervivencia: pesca, turba, clima extremo y poco margen para el futuro.
    En su casa se hablaba gaélico escocés, y el inglés era casi una segunda realidad.
    Su padre era pescador y trabajador de la turba.
    No había lujos, ni red de seguridad, ni promesas.

    Lo de “llegó sin zapatos” se ha convertido en parte de la leyenda.
    Puede que no sea literal al 100%, pero sí refleja bien su situación: pobreza real, absoluta, de esas que no se maquillan.
    Lo cierto es que no llegó completamente sola; tenía hermanas en Nueva York, lo que le dio un punto de apoyo básico para empezar a trabajar como empleada doméstica.

    Y así empezó su vida en América: casas ajenas, trabajo constante, jornadas largas.
    Sin glamour, sin atajos.
    Solo adaptación.

    Con el tiempo, su destino dio un giro cuando conoció a Fred Trump, un joven empresario de Queens que empezaba a construir su camino en el negocio inmobiliario.
    Se casaron en 1936.
    A partir de ahí, la historia cambia de escenario: crecimiento económico, expansión urbana en Nueva York y ascenso social progresivo.

    Tuvieron cinco hijos, entre ellos Donald Trump.

    Pero reducir su vida a “madre de…” sería quedarse corto.
    Mary Anne tenía un carácter muy marcado.
    En casa del matrimonio Trump convivían dos mundos: el de Fred, centrado, metódico, casi austero; y el de ella, más social, más inclinada al brillo, a la presencia pública, a cierto gusto por el estatus.

    Hay una anécdota que siempre se menciona porque define bien su forma de ver la vida: incluso siendo millonaria, seguía encargándose personalmente de recoger las monedas de las lavanderías de los edificios familiares.
    Lo hacía ella, en su Rolls Royce.
    No por necesidad económica, sino por una mentalidad muy arraigada: el dinero no se desprecia, se controla.

    Ese detalle se ha interpretado muchas veces como una especie de herencia emocional que influyó en su hijo: la idea de que todo cuenta, de que nada es pequeño cuando se trata de valor.

    También hay rasgos más personales que suelen aparecer en su biografía.
    Se dice que su estilo —especialmente su peinado voluminoso y muy trabajado— influyó en la imagen pública de Donald Trump.
    No como copia directa, pero sí como referencia visual dentro del entorno familiar.

    En lo social, Mary Anne era mucho más que discreta. Le gustaban los eventos, las ceremonias, la vida pública entendida como representación.
    Admiraba incluso a la realeza británica, especialmente a la Reina Isabel II.
    Era una mezcla curiosa: origen humilde, pero fascinación por el protocolo y el mundo de arriba.

    Y, sin embargo, nunca cortó del todo el hilo con su origen.
    A pesar de vivir en una casa grande en Jamaica Estates, en Nueva York, regresaba casi todos los veranos a la isla de Lewis.
    Volvía a su gente, a su idioma, a ese paisaje duro que la había formado.

    En 1942 se convirtió en ciudadana estadounidense.
    Vivió una vida larga, de 88 años, falleciendo en el año 2000, poco después de su marido.

    Su historia no es solo la de una emigrante que “triunfa”.
    Es más compleja: es la de alguien que se mueve entre dos mundos sin abandonar del todo ninguno.
    Entre la escasez aprendida y la abundancia conseguida.
    Y entre la discreción del origen y el peso de un apellido que acabaría siendo mundialmente conocido.

    Hay una anécdota que siempre se menciona porque define bien su forma de ver la vida: incluso siendo millonaria, seguía encargándose personalmente de recoger las monedas de las lavanderías de los edificios familiares.
    Lo hacía ella, en su Rolls Royce.
    No por necesidad económica, sino por una mentalidad muy arraigada: el dinero no se desprecia, se controla.

    Ese detalle se ha interpretado muchas veces como una especie de herencia emocional que influyó en su hijo: la idea de que todo cuenta, de que nada es pequeño cuando se trata de valor.

    También hay rasgos más personales que suelen aparecer en su biografía.
    Se dice que su estilo —especialmente su peinado voluminoso y muy trabajado— influyó en la imagen pública de Donald Trump.
    No como copia directa, pero sí como referencia visual dentro del entorno familiar.

    En lo social, Mary Anne era mucho más que discreta. Le gustaban los eventos, las ceremonias, la vida pública entendida como representación.
    Admiraba incluso a la realeza británica, especialmente a la Reina Isabel II.
    Era una mezcla curiosa: origen humilde, pero fascinación por el protocolo y el mundo de arriba.

    Y, sin embargo, nunca cortó del todo el hilo con su origen.
    A pesar de vivir en una casa grande en Jamaica Estates, en Nueva York, regresaba casi todos los veranos a la isla de Lewis.
    Volvía a su gente, a su idioma, a ese paisaje duro que la había formado.

    En 1942 se convirtió en ciudadana estadounidense.
    Vivió una vida larga, de 88 años, falleciendo en el año 2000, poco después de su marido.

    Su historia no es solo la de una emigrante que “triunfa”.
    Es más compleja: es la de alguien que se mueve entre dos mundos sin abandonar del todo ninguno.
    Entre la escasez aprendida y la abundancia conseguida.
    Y entre la discreción del origen y el peso de un apellido que acabaría siendo mundialmente conocido.
