Neuroimmunology and Neurological Infections

Neuroimmunology is an interdisciplinary field that merges neuroscience, focusing on the study of the nervous system, with immunology, dedicated to understanding the immune system. Neuroimmunologists aim to enhance our comprehension of the intricate interactions between these two systems throughout development, homeostasis, and responses to injuries.

Neurological infections encompass a diverse range of conditions that invade and impact the nervous system. Despite progress in treatment and the advent of early detection methods, many of these conditions can lead to severe, persistent, and even life-threatening issues for those afflicted. Among the most prevalent neurological infections are encephalitis, characterized by inflammation of the brain caused by either bacteria or infection, and meningitis, marked by inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, also attributable to either bacterial or viral sources.
