Neuroimmunology

Neuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and immune system. Neuroimmunology contributes to development of new pharmacological treatments for several neurological conditions. Neuroinflammation and neuroimmune activation have been shown to play a role in the etiology of a variety of neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's and Alzheimer'sdisease, multiple sclerosis, pain and AIDS-associated dementia. Cognitive neuroscience becomes a very major method to understand human cognition, meanwhile results can clarify functional brain organisation, such as the operations performed by a certain brain area and the system of distributed, discrete neural areas supporting a particular Psychological representation.
