Development and interaction of the nervous and immune systems

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the evolutionary development of cellular and molecular components in the nervous and immune systems, the paper explores how various pathologies in the nervous system lead to a reversion of immune responses. It highlights a shift towards earlier stages of immune system evolution, emphasizing the dominance of innate immunity, lectin-carbohydrate interactions, and phagocytic activities within nervous system cells. This connection between the two systems reveals insights into their interrelated functions during disease processes.
