Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a field of study that examines the interactions between the nervous system, the immune system, and behavior. It is a sub-discipline of neuroscience that focuses on the bidirectional communication between the brain and the immune system. PNI research has revealed that the immune system is not only affected by the brain, but also has the ability to influence the brain. This has implications for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and depression. PNI has become increasingly important in recent years, as it has been used to explain the effects of stress on physical and mental health. It has also been used to explain the effects of lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, on the immune system. Some companies in the PNI market include NeuroVive Pharmaceuticals, Immuneering Corporation, and Immuneering Corporation. Show Less Read more
