Neuro-Endo-Immunology

Meaning

Neuro-Endo-Immunology (NEI) is a sophisticated, integrated field of study that investigates the complex, continuous, and bidirectional communication pathways linking the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. This discipline recognizes that the body’s regulatory systems are not isolated but form a unified, integrated network essential for maintaining physiological stability, known as allostasis, and responding adaptively to stress. Clinical application of NEI principles is fundamental for understanding and treating complex, chronic conditions like chronic stress, autoimmune disorders, and age-related hormonal dysregulation, where cross-system signaling breakdown is often a core issue.
