In a new #ScienceImmunology Review, researchers discuss how interactions between the nervous and immune systems could impact neurological disorders and allergy-related behaviors like food avoidance. scim.ag/4mpgzE5
The nervous system comprises the CNS and associated sensory nerves (blue) and the autonomic nervous system, which includes sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves (red) and the ENS (purple). The immune system is composed of cells that span the entire body. This includes the meningiocranial immune system, which comprises immune cells important for neural development, brain repair, and brain border protection. Repeated exposure to allergens at mucosal sites (for example, lung, skin, and gut) can trigger local type 2 immunity. Type 2 immune cells signal to neurons across the periphery and brain through cytokines, whereas neurons signal to immune cells via neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. This is not an exhaustive list of cellular players, given that other tissue resident cells (e.g., fibroblasts and glial cells) may also respond to these signals.
