Neuroinflammation Modulation

Meaning

Neuroinflammation modulation is the therapeutic or physiological process of regulating the inflammatory response within the central nervous system, which involves the activation of glial cells like microglia and astrocytes. While acute inflammation is protective, chronic neuroinflammation is a key driver in neurodegenerative diseases, mood disorders, and cognitive decline. Strategic modulation aims to dampen detrimental inflammatory cascades while preserving essential neuroprotective immune functions.
