Neuroimmune system
The
neuroimmune system
is a system of structures and processes involving the
biochemical
and
electrophysiological
interactions between the
nervous system
and
immune system
which protect
neurons
from
pathogens
. It serves to protect neurons against disease by maintaining selectively permeable barriers (e.g., the
blood-brain barrier
and
blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier
), mediating neuroinflammation and wound healing, and mobilizing host defenses against pathogens.
