Neuroimmunology is a field that combines neuroscience, the study of the nervous system and immunology, the study of the immune system, into one discipline within this field neuroimmunology. The interaction of these two complex systems is studied the neuroimmunologists throughout development, homeostasis, and response to injuries. The adaptive and innate immune systems continuously monitor the nervous system. The immune system identifies and responds to changes in cell identity and neural connectivity during development and adult life. The immune system and nervous system require suitable degrees of cellular differentiation, organizational integrity, and neural network connectivity. Pro-inflammatory cytokines which are released by activated macrophages and monocytes during infection, can impact neural targets that control thermogenesis, behavior, sleep, and mood. Cytokines are produced in the central nervous system due to brain injury, during bacterial and viral infections, and neurodegenerative processes. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of translational neuroimmunology. It includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights on neuroimmunology and its clinical applications. This book will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
