French Neuroimmunology Club - Annual Symposium
The Neuroimmunology Symposium is organized by the French Club of Neuroimmunology (CFNI), affiliated with the French Society of Immunology (SFI) and the French Society of Neurosciences (SFN). Neuroimmunology is a multifaceted discipline integrating the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. These systems communicate extensively, benefiting mutually from their interactions. Neurotransmitters, neuroendocrine hormones, and nociception regulate immune activity, while body temperature, sleep, eating behavior, and cognition are influenced by the immune system. Protected by the blood-brain barrier, the central nervous system is not exempt from meningeal immune surveillance and controlled neuroinflammation. This is crucial for immune protection against microbial infections, tumor control, and maintenance of latency in neurotropic viruses. Dysregulation of the innate or adaptive immune response is involved in neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases, autoimmune and infectious encephalitides, malignant proliferations, and psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder).
