Crosstalk between the neuroendocrine and immune systems plays an essential role in inflammatory, autoimmune, and allergic diseases. An international group of scientists from the fields of neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, immunology, and behavioral sciences reports here on recent advances in our understanding of the communication and modulation ...
The discipline of neuroimmunomodulation is devoted to interactions between the immune nervous systems at all levels and includes observation on brain, pituitary, peripheral nervous system and immune cells. Nitric oxide synthase is contained within neurons in the brain and modifies behavioural and hormonal responses by acting on other neurons and ...
Neuroimmunology has come of age since 1980, shaped by advances in its parent disciplines of neuroscience and immunology. As the field has evolved, it has become clear that the general principles of immunology must be applied in a highly specialized fashion when dealing with immunological reactions in the nervous system. This book provides a ...
In recent years hard scientific evidence has emerged which links stress and various disease states. The mechanisms underlying the interplay between brain-neuroendocrine and immune systems are the focus of much current research. Unlike other recent publications which are for specialists and frequently compromise detailed accounts, this book is for ...
Neuroimmunology is a rapidly-growing branch of biomedical science that studies of all aspects of the interactions between the immune system and nervous system. It deals with, among other things, the physiological functioning of the neuroimmune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the neuroimmune system in disorders ...
While it may appear that the nervous and immune systems exist as two separate entities, groundbreaking observations have positively identified anatomic connections between elements of the nervous system and cells of adaptive immunity. Building on this research, Autonomic Neuroimmunology presents a scientific discussion of the current ...
Neuroendocrine immunology is a growing branch of medicine which offers stimulating vistas on the pathogenesis of diseases as well as new clinical and therapeutic approaches, in particular to autoimmune diseases. The 28 papers in this volume are taken from a conference held in France in 2002, and relate to the neuroimmunomodulation of the ...
Interactions between the immune, endocrine and nervous systems seldom appear as main issues in the neurosciences and in immunology. So far this was most likely due to the need to focus on the molecular and cellular bases of single neural, endocrine and immune processes. But hormones, neurotransmitters and neuropeptides can also influence more ...
