Psycho-neuroimmunology

Psycho-neuroimmunology refers to the study of the interactions among behavioural, neural and endocrine, and immune functions. It is, perhaps, the most recent convergence of disciplines that has evolved to achieve a more complete understanding of adaptive processes. Until recently, the immune system was considered an independent agency of defence that protected the organism against foreign material (i.e., proteins that were not part of one's “self”). Indeed, the immune system is capable of considerable self-regulation. However, converging data from the behavioural and brain sciences now indicate that the brain plays a critical role in the regulation or modulation of immunity. This new research indicates that the nervous and immune systems, the two most complex systems that have evolved for the maintenance of homeostasis, represent an integrated mechanism for the adaptation of the individual and the species. Thus, psycho-neuroimmunology emphasizes the study of the functional significance of the relationship between these systems--not in place of, but in addition to the more traditional analysis of the mechanisms governing the functions within a single system-and the significance of these interactions for health and disease
