Neuroimmune Interaction

Neuroimmune interaction refers to the complex communication between the nervous system (brain and nerves) and the immune system (body's defense against illness). These two systems work together to maintain health, with the immune system detecting infections and the nervous system responding to stress and pain. For example, when you're sick, your brain can trigger immune responses to fight off pathogens. Conversely, inflammation in the body can affect mood and behavior. Understanding this interaction helps researchers find better treatments for conditions like autoimmune diseases, mental health disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
