Abstract:
Using the recent burgeoning of information on how the stress response systems interact, and combining this with advances in our understanding of neuroimmune communication, a proposed neuroendocrine-neuroimmune stress response system incorporating autoimmunoregulation is reviewed. The study of immunocyte behavior in certain clinical conditions associated with a variant stress response may help illuminate the functioning of the neuroendocrine-neuroimmune stress response system.
