Neural reflex circuits regulate cytokine release to prevent potentially damaging inflammation and maintain homeostasis. In the inflammatory reflex, sensory input elicited by infection or injury ...

A novel study showed that spontaneous neural activity and functional connectivity in certain brain regions correlated with ...

There is growing recognition that inflammatory signals play an important role in normal and pathological brain function. Laboratories in this area study how inflammation in the brain and spinal cord ...

The vagus nerve is a busy bundle of over 100,000 information-carrying fibers that runs from the brain stem through the body ...

However, neurons that express IL-1R1 are not thought to induce inflammation, suggesting that these cells may actually integrate immune signals into neural ones. It has yet to be revealed where or ...

increasing their numbers and activity without causing significant tissue damage or inflammation. This testing ensured the electrodes' safety and efficacy for neural repair stimulation within the ...
