Neural regulation of innate immunity: a coordinated nonspecific host response to pathogens
Open accessAbstract
The central nervous system (CNS) regulates innate immune responses through hormonal and neuronal routes. The neuroendocrine stress response and the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems generally inhibit innate immune responses at systemic and regional levels, whereas the peripheral nervous system tends to amplify local innate immune responses. These systems work together to first activate and amplify local inflammatory responses that contain or eliminate invading pathogens, and subsequently to terminate inflammation and restore host homeostasis. Here, I review these regulatory mechanisms and discuss the evidence indicating that the CNS can be considered as integral to acute-phase inflammatory responses to pathogens as the innate immune system.

The brain plays a critical role in appraising stressors and in modulating immune system reactivity to physical and social threat.
“the brain plays a critical role in appraising stressors, as well as in modulating immune system reactivity to physical and social threat”
From From stress to inflammation and major depressive disorder: A social signal transduction theory of depression. (2014) · cites this paper as Sternberg, 2006
The Abstract says the CNS regulates innate immune responses and describes physical and psychological stimuli activating a brain-mediated stress response that regulates immunity. It does not describe the brain appraising stressors or specifically address immune reactivity to social threat. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAlthough these regions do not directly regulate inflammatory activity, they have anatomical connections to lower level brain regions, including the hypothalamus and brainstem autonomic control nuclei, which influence systemic inflammation by modulating the activity of the HPA axis and SNS.

An acute mental or physical stressor that primarily activates systems under CNS control (HPA axis and ANS) will also induce an inflammatory response.
“an acute mental or physical stressor that primarily activates systems under CNS control, i.e., the neuroendocrine hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the autonomic nervous system (ANS), will also induce an inflammatory response (52, 525).”

Multiple non-exclusive pathways activate the HPA axis upon cerebral or peripheral immune challenges, including local inflammatory mediators, circulating factors accessing the PVN via circumventricular organs or a disrupted blood-brain barrier, endothelial signaling, and vagus nerve afferents.
“Multiple non-exclusive pathways participate in the activation of the HPA axis upon cerebral or peripheral immune challenges. When an immunogenic insult takes place in the brain, various inflammatory mediators produced locally may trigger the HPA axis.”

“Pro-inflammatory cytokines, however, unfold systemic effects far beyond the canonical immune response and also stimulate the secretion of CGs, while CGs, in turn, among their numerous pleiotropic effects, help terminate the inflammatory response (153, 154, 156, 157).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
