Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Learning & Memory Paperback / softback
by Amaicha Mara Depino
Paperback / softback
Description
Pro-inflammatory cytokines co-ordinate immune, physiological, metabolic and behavioural responses that are collectively termed the acute phase reaction.
In addition to their role in immunoregulation of inflammatory processes, pro-inflammatory cytokines represent the major communication link between peripheral immunity and the central nervous system.
Studies in animals have demonstrated that acute activation of pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling in the brain in response to peripheral immune activation is associated with deficits in hippocampal-dependent memory.
This book presents and discusses human and animal models studies of the role of cytokines in learning and memory.
