Brain Inflammation

Brain inflammation occurs when the immune system responds to injury, infection, or disease in the brain. This response involves immune cells becoming activated and releasing substances that can protect the brain but may also cause damage if inflammation is prolonged. While short-term inflammation can help heal injuries or fight infections, chronic inflammation is linked to various neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and depression. Understanding and managing brain inflammation is crucial for promoting brain health and preventing these conditions.
