The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Cytokine‐to‐Brain Communication
Abstract
A bstract: Peripheral interleukin‐1β (IL‐β) and inflammatory stimuli that induce the synthesis and release of IL‐1β produce a variety of central nervous system responses. Most proposals designed to explain how peripheral IL‐1β influences the CNS have focused on blood‐borne routes of communication. We will review data that indicate that at least some of the CNS response to peripheral IL‐1β are instead mediated by a neural route of communication between the periphery and the CNS. IL‐1β activates afferent vagal fibers that terminate in the nucleus tractus solitarius, and communication via the vagus is responsible for much of the hyperalgesia, fever, anorexia, taste aversions, increased levels of plasma corticosteroid, and brain norepinephrine changes produced by intraperitoneal injections of IL‐1β and LPS. Data extending this analysis to TNF‐α and intravenous routes will be described.

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.
