Neuroimmune Interactions

Neuroimmune interactions refer to the communication between the nervous system (brain and nerves) and the immune system (body’s defense against illness). These systems work together to maintain health, respond to injuries, and fight infections. For example, the nervous system can influence immune cells by releasing signals, while immune responses can affect nervous system functions, like causing inflammation or pain. This ongoing dialogue helps the body adapt to challenges, coordinate healing, and keep tissues balanced. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing treatments for conditions like autoimmune diseases, infections, and neurodegenerative disorders.
