Neuro-Immune Signaling

Meaning

Neuro-Immune Signaling describes the continuous, bidirectional communication network that exists between the nervous system and the immune system, profoundly influencing each other’s function and overall systemic health. Hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines serve as the primary signaling molecules in this complex cross-talk, effectively linking psychological state, endocrine function, and immune surveillance. Clinically, dysregulation in this critical signaling pathway is strongly implicated in various chronic inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, and stress-related hormonal imbalances, necessitating a holistic treatment approach.
