Abstract
Interaction between the immune system and the CNS:
-
Immune cells produce neuropeptides and neuronal hormones (CNS-mediators).
-
Cells of the CNS produce immunomediators.
-
Immune cells can be modulated by CNS mediators and hormones, the CNS by immune mediators.
-
The consequence is a close communication between the immune system and the CNS.
-
In consequence, the immune system can respond to cognitive stimuli (physical, emotional, chemical) and the CNS to noncognitive stimuli (infections, vaccination, tumor, others).
