Neuroimmunology of Infection

Neuroimmunology of infection studies how the nervous system and immune system interact during infections. When the body faces an infection, the immune system triggers responses that can affect the brain and nerves. This can lead to changes in mood, behavior, and cognition, as well as neurological symptoms. Conversely, the brain can influence immune responses, affecting how well the body fights infections. Understanding these interactions helps researchers develop better treatments for infections and related neurological issues, highlighting the important connection between mind and body in health and disease.
