Detailed explanation-1: -The immune system and the nervous system maintain extensive communication, including ‘hardwiring’ of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves to lymphoid organs. Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, norepinephrine, vasoactive intestinal peptide, substance P and histamine modulate immune activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Autonomic Nervous System The CNS regulates immune function, inflammation, and pathogens responses against host tissues, through the production of inhibitory cytokines, hormones, and other soluble molecules able to signal to the brain, which in turn exerts strong regulatory effects on the immune response (5, 32).
Detailed explanation-3: -The immune system may interfere with brain function. The central nervous system may also influence the activity of the immune system. The central nervous system is functionally protected by the blood-brain barrier. The central nervous system is functionally protected by the blood-brain barrier.
