Mind Over Matter
M. Schafer

Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume. It covers topics such as brain-immune interactions, the impact of stress on the immune response, pain and immunosuppression, the modulation of inflammation and pain by the sympathetic nervous system, consequences of nerve injury for the immune system, neuronal mechanisms of immune cell recruitment, and the modulation of the immune response by corticotropin-releasing hormone or adenosine. The authors are a unique group of scientists who are all interested in brain-to-immune interactions; however, each from a different perspective. The volume will serve both neurobiologists and immunologists to understand the influence of the central nervous system on peripheral inflammation. Many aspects of this book will also be stimulating for researchers in the pain field. Written for: Researchers and clinicians, scientific libraries, pharmaceutical industry;postgraduate students Keywords: CNS adenosine autoimmune disease brain corticotropin-releasing hormone immune system inflammation nerve injury neural-immune signaling opioid neuropeptides pain peripheral nervous system stress sympathetic nervous system
