Funded Activity Summary

The brain strongly influences immune function through a neural reflex: the inflammatory reflex. This reflex was recently revised and a new model for its efferent arm, in stark contrast with the existing version, was proposed: the motor pathway of this reflex is purely sympathetic and travels through the splanchnic nerves. The aim of this project is to define the peripheral and central neural pathway of this reflex. Future improvements in health and medical knowledge will follow
