The Brain-Immune Axis
This informative seminar will examine the influence of the brain on the immune system, especially the glial cells. In fact, new findings show that the cerebellar interposed nuclei (IN) actually participate in regulating immune function. In order for crosstalk to occur between the brain and the immune system, communication is necessary among cytokines, peptides, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and other signaling agents.
