Webinar: Neuroimmune Mechanisms Linking Inflammatory Processes with Cognitive, Social, and Affective Functions

Overview

This webinar focuses on the complex communication between the nervous and immune systems and how this interaction impacts brain function during development, adulthood, and disease. Researchers have found that immune system activation, particularly in the form of neuroinflammation, can influence cognitive, social, and emotional processing. Despite these findings, the exact mechanisms linking inflammation to changes in brain circuits remain unclear.

The webinar will bring together experts to discuss current research on how inflammatory processes affect the brain, with a focus on understanding how these changes contribute to psychiatric disorders. The goal is to identify key research areas that could lead to new ways of reducing the negative effects of inflammation on mental health.
