The study of the gut microbiome has increasingly revealed an important role in modulating
brain function and mental health. In this review, we underscore specific pathways and …

Active research at the frontiers of immunology and neuroscience has identified multiple
points of interaction and communication between the immune system and the nervous …

BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that inflammation is involved in the neurodegenerative
cascade leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and symptoms. This study sought to …

The vagus nerve has an important role in regulation of metabolic homeostasis, and efferent
vagus nerve-mediated cholinergic signalling controls immune function and proinflammatory …

Inflammation can cause damage and even death. What controls this primitive and potentially
lethal innate immune response to injury and infection? Molecular and neurophysiological …

Increasing attention has been paid to the role of inflammation in a host of illnesses including
neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. Activation of the inflammatory …

The nervous system regulates immunity and inflammation. The molecular detection of
pathogen fragments, cytokines, and other immune molecules by sensory neurons generates …

Brain and viscera interplay within the autonomic nervous system where the vagus nerve
(VN), containing approximately 80% afferent and 20% efferent fibres, plays multiple key …

Psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune modulation through the brain-gut axis likely has a key role
in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The brain-gut axis involves …

Studies bridging neuroscience and immunology have identified neural pathways that
regulate immunity and inflammation. Recent research using methodological advances in …
