Neuroimmunology

Study of nervous system is neuroscience and immunology is immune system. Neuroimmunologists seek to better understand the interactions of these two complex systems during development, homeostasis, and response to injuries. A long-term goal of this rapidly developing research area is to further develop our understanding of the pathology of certain neurological diseases, some of which have no clear cause. It contributes to development of new pharmacological treatments for several neurological conditions. Many types of interactions involve both the nervous and immune systems which include physical, chemical, and environmental stressors that affect the two systems on a daily basis.
