How the immune system 'talks' to the brain
Description
How the Immune System 'Talks' to the Brain provides an overview of the key factors involved in communication between the body's immune system and the brain. The video details what that communication is and how it is manifested. The video points out that an activated immune system alters regulatory functions of the brain (e.g., behaviors, neuroendocrine output) and that these responses are evolutionarily conserved and important for host defense and survival. The video also reviews the fact that such communication can be disrupted, which, in turn, can lead to bad things. In addition, the video discusses the role that acute or chronic exercise can play in altering communication pathways or brain response.
