How the Brainstem Keeps Inflammation in Check
Via Nature
Summary
Researchers have identified a specific brainstem circuit that monitors and regulates peripheral inflammation through the vagus nerve, acting as a "biological rheostat" to maintain immune balance.
By successfully manipulating this neuro-immune axis to suppress lethal inflammatory responses in animal models, scientists have opened a promising new frontier for treating autoimmune diseases and cytokine storms via bioelectronic medicine.
