- Abstract
We know that the immune system is the first line of defense against invading pathogens and its accurate functioning is essential for life. Current evidences show that immune and central nervous systems interact to modulate inflammation through common humoral and neural pathways. This research presents the recent findings of the neuroimmune interaction, the description of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and the clinical perspectives of new therapies in medicine based on the knowledge of the neuroimmune fuction, the effects of vagotomy in animals and humans and the perspectives of this technique in the study of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.
