Psychoneuroimmunology: Interactions between central nervous system and immune system

George F. Solomon

Open publisher page 220 citations

Abstract

Psychoneuroimmunology, a rapidly developing field, has to do with the complex bidirectional interactions between the central nervous system and the immune system. Neuroendocrine influences modulate immune function, and there is feedback from the immune system to the brain. CNS-immune interaction appears to play a role in psychosocial influences on immunologically resisted and mediated diseases. With the growing evidence now at hand, over 30 "postulates" can be proposed for specific implications of CNS-immune interaction.
