Abstract

While the immune system previously was viewed primarily as an autonomous bodily defense mechanism, it is increasingly recognized as a system, which interacts with and is, at least partly, regulated by the central nervous system. Psychoneuroimmunological research has documented the existence of a number of bi-directional pathways, through which the brain and the immune system may communicate and interact. Such neuro-immune pathways may provide the mechanisms that allow psychosocial factors to influence immune and inflammatory processes, and also the mechanisms by which psychosocial factors may affect the development and course of immune related diseases.
