Neuroinflammatory Processes

Neuroinflammatory processes refer to the body's immune response occurring in the nervous system, particularly in the brain and spinal cord. When there is injury, infection, or disease, the immune cells in the nervous system become activated, releasing chemicals to protect and heal. However, excessive or prolonged inflammation can lead to damage and contribute to various neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease. Essentially, while inflammation is a natural defense mechanism, when it becomes chronic, it can harm rather than help, highlighting the delicate balance in our immune response within the brain.
