Abstract
Traditional conceptualizations of neural-immune interactions focused on mechanisms by which the brain modulates immune functions, for instance how stress, and/or personality variables can affect immune function. However, it is now well established that the converse is also true: immune activation, following infection or during neoplastic or autoimmune conditions, exerts profound influences upon brain function. Thus, neural- immune interactions are bi-directional.
