Neuroimmunoendocrinology

Meaning

Neuroimmunoendocrinology is an advanced, integrative field of study that focuses on the intricate, reciprocal communication and regulatory interactions among the nervous system, the immune system, and the endocrine system. This discipline investigates how neuropeptides, hormones, and cytokines coordinate the body’s holistic response to maintain systemic homeostasis and adapt to challenges such as psychological stress, infection, or trauma. Understanding this unified axis is essential for a comprehensive view of complex health issues, including chronic fatigue and autoimmune conditions.
