Neurologic disruption arising from Immunologic Aberration
Interactions between neurodegenerative states and immune system dysregulations may underlie several diseases that induce problems for neuropsychological and physical health. It seems increasingly evident that process of apoptosis, a central issue for health and well-being, is associated to greater or lesser extents with the balance and ongoing regulation of immune system proclivities. One key contributor to the regulation of structure and function of brain and behaviour has emerged to be the gastrointestinal microbiome, not least in the context of the neurodegenerative disorders. Certain genes identified in in these disorders encode for proteins with directly-acting immunoactive/immunoreactive roles, which when mutated lead to dysregulations in immune functions, thereby affecting the disease states; yet accumulating evidence implies direct malfunctions of immune ells in the brain and CNS as well as at the periphery of the nervous system. Remarkably, the therapeutic effects of anti-tumor, immune system-enhancing agents are emerging to awaken the necessity for consideration of immune system-nervous system interactions as reciprocal determinants of both neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders.
