EPA-1370 – Stress and Immunity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2020
Abstract
The existence of a close relationship between the brain and the immune system has been demonstrated based on the results of several studies. Specific autonomic, neuroendocrine and neuropeptides mediators form the biological basis of this interrelationship, as has been demonstrated. The aim of this study is to review and systematize the current scientific knowledge related to the integration of these two systems, and it's clinical correlation.
Review of the literature that addresses the theme
Studies in humans have shown that stress and low immunity have a close connection. Works continuously prove this relationship.
Recently, the view that the interaction between the brain and the immune system is bidirectional has been preferred to that in which the direction of communication is exclusively from the brain to the immune system.
