Stress and Neuroimmunomodulation
Much evidence has suggested the existence of bidriectional communication between the brain and the immune system. The brain is known to modulate peripheral immunity by the autonomic nervous innervation as well as the neuroendocrine communication. This review focuses particularly on the involvement of the hypothalamo-sympathetic nervous system in the ...
