Insights to Neuroimmune Biology, Second Edition discusses the systemic regulatory network, coordination, organization, and interpretation of the rapidly accumulating knowledge on the topic of neuroimmune biology, with an ultimate goal of helping readers understand the function of higher organisms, including man, in their entire complexity. This publication provides assessments and interpretations of accumulated experimental evidence, enabling the scientific community to keep abreast of essential advancements of existing knowledge as we search for greater understanding of the biology of higher organisms. Provides information on the importance and applicability of the field of neuroimmunology Describes subjects that have shown significant recent developmentsIntroduces a whole new dimension to neuroimmunology by discussing Epigenetic ImmunoregulationInvestigates the mechanisms and functions of the Neuroimmune Regulatory SupersystemPromotes translational research in the field of neuroimmune biologyCovers challenges, such as dealing with problems of e.g., hypothalamic regulation of immune functions, interrelationships of stress and disease, epigenetic immunoregulation, neuroprotection, and neuroimmune regulation in pregnancy. INDICE: Health (homeostasis) and disease (allostasis). The Neuroimmune Supersystem Multiple regulators of GLH hormonesNeural regulation of the HPA axisImmunoregulation by arginine vasopressinMulti-faceted regulation with peripheral inputNeuropeptides in immunoregulation Acute stress and healingChronic stress and diseaseBiologically controlled mutationsMicro RNA in immunoregulationNeuroprotection
