Neuroimmunology: In-Depth Description

 Neuroimmunology is the study of the complex, bidirectional interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system. Traditionally, researchers viewed these two complex networks as entirely separate entities, operating under the assumption that the brain was strictly "immune-privileged" and isolated from systemic immune responses. Today, neuroimmunology investigates how immune cells, cytokines, and inflammatory processes influence neurological development, brain function, and disease pathogenesis, as well as how the nervous system regulates immune function throughout the body.

After Years of Being Misunderstood Jayelynn Weinel Shares Her Story to Bring Hope to Others Living with Functional Neurological Disorder

 Doctors treated her symptoms, offered different diagnoses, and tried various approaches, yet nothing fully explained what she was experiencing. Living with an illness that others couldn't see was frustrating enough, but living without answers made the journey even harder.

Neuroscience rotation gives student a chance to explore brainy interests

 The Akakpo-Ulloa Family Neuroscience Scholarship is designed to foster interest in neurology and psychiatry, and provide exposure to multidisciplinary care.

He Had Up to Seventy-Eight Sneezing Attacks a Day, and the Fix Was in His Arm

 They looked exactly like sneezes. Repeated contractions of the diaphragm, Forced exhalation through the nose, tic-like rhythmic vocalizations layered on top. Strong smells often set them off, though they could also arrive at random.
They were not sneezes.
A 32-year-old teacher reached a functional neurological disorder clinic having lived with them for nine years. At presentation, the attacks were lasting up to 10 minutes and coming several times a day, reaching a maximum of 78 episodes. He reported episodes that woke him at night, though without a sleep study, clinicians could not confirm whether they occurred in true sleep or early wakefulness.

Brain imaging research is thriving in functional neurological disorder

 

1. Introduction

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a condition at the neurology-psychiatry interface that impacts individuals across the lifespan (Hallett et al., 2022). The conceptualization of FND in the 20th century was fraught with dualistic perspectives of brain versus mind – exemplified by outdated terms such as “hysteria” and “psychogenic”. Structure and function are closely coupled in the human brain, and neuroimaging research in FND provides an opportunity to bridge the science of brain and mind in this prevalent and potentially disabling condition (Finkelstein et al., 2025, O’Mahony et al., 2023). Advancing the neuroscience of FND further erodes artificial distinctions between brain health and mental health – and offers the potential to develop novel mechanistically-informed treatments.

Functional Neurologic Disorder (NIH)

 

What is functional neurologic disorder?

Functional neurologic disorder (FND) refers to a neurological condition caused by changes in how brain networks work, rather than changes in the structure of the brain itself, as seen in many other neurological disorders. Physical symptoms of FND are genuine but cannot be explained by changes in the brain structure. The exact cause of FND is unknown.
