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.
