Neuroimmunological Disorders

Neuroimmunological disorders are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This can lead to symptoms like weakness, numbness, fatigue, or cognitive issues. Diseases such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica fall under this category. The interaction between the immune response and nervous system can cause inflammation and damage, affecting how the body communicates and functions. Understanding these disorders helps researchers develop better treatments to manage symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.
