Executive Brain Control of Host Defence underpinned by Neural Mechanisms: “Look Mum no Hormones” – Jaleel Miyan & James Downing (p.8)

Research into the field of Neuroimmunology can broadly be subdivided into (a) the immune pathology of the nervous system, and (b) the role of the nervous system in giving ‘homeostatic’ (i.e. adaptive and co-ordinating) control of host defence in response to injury, infection and stressors (including: reproductive, metabolic, environmental and perceptual).
