The existence of a network of interactions between the immune and nervous systems that
influences host defenses and brain functions is now well-established. Here we discuss how …

Because of the compartmentalization of disciplines that shaped the academic landscape of
biology and biomedical sciences in the past, physiological systems have long been studied …

Neuroimmunology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the life sciences, and for good
reason; it fills the gap between two principal systems of the organism, the nervous system …

This article offers a personal view on how the concept of the existence of a network of
immune–neuro–endocrine interactions has evolved in the last 30 years. The main topic …

It has now become accepted that the immune system and neuroendocrine system form an
integrated part of our physiology. Immunological defense mechanisms act in concert with …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the involvement of the central nervous system
circuitry in the modulation of immune responses. The immune system is capable of …

Several efficient autoregulatory mechanisms confer a certain degree of autonomy to the
immune system. However, increasing evidence shows that immune processes operate in a …

Progress in neuroimmunology established that the nervous and the immune systems are
two functionally related physiological systems. Unique sensory and immune receptors …

Interactions between the immune system and the nervous system have been described
mostly in the context of diseases. More recent studies have begun to reveal how certain …

Crosstalk between the neuroendocrine and immune systems is essential for the
maintenance of homeostasis in our bodies. Recent advances in neuroscience and …
