Abstract:
Functional brain asymmetry is associated with immune reactivity in mice. This association depends on the immunological parameters tested and on the sex and genetic background of animals. Each individual may be characterized by a paw preference score in relation with a particular immune pattern. The interindividual differences in immune reactivity connected with brain asymmetry give a new insight in the relation brain immunity and may represent a new aspect of population polymorphism.
