Core Tip This study investigated whether Pediococcus acidilactici CCFM6432 alleviates anhedonia in major depressive disorder through immune-inflammatory modulation and reward-related electrophysiological changes. The probiotic significantly reduced inflammatory markers (lipopolysaccharide, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6) and enhanced reward anticipation, as reflected by increased stimulus-preceding negativity amplitude and higher Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale scores. These results suggest that CCFM6432 may improve anhedonia via an immune-inflammatory pathway. Large-scale, multicenter studies integrating multimodal biomarkers are warranted to validate and extend these findings.
