Abstract:
The neural and immune systems sense and respond to external stimuli to maintain tissue homeostasis. These systems do not function independently but rather interact with each other to effectively exert biological actions and prevent disease pathogenesis, such as metabolic, inflammatory, and infectious disorders. Mutual communication between these systems is also affected by tissue niche-specific signals that reflect the tissue environment. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying these interactions are not completely understood. In addition to the peripheral regulation of neuro-immune crosstalk, recent studies have reported that the central nervous system plays essential roles in the regulation of systemic neuro-immune interactions. In this review, we provide an overview of the molecular basis of peripheral and systemic neuro-immune crosstalk and explore how these multilayered interactions are maintained.

Organization of the Nervous System
The CNS, comprising the brain and spinal cord, houses billions of neurons. The brain is housed in the skull, while the spinal cord is linked to the brain through the foramen magnum of the occipital bone and is surrounded by the protective structure of the vertebral column. It is responsible for processing various...

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports...
