Authors: Jonathan Kipnis & Anthony J. Filiano
Over the past few years, interest in the field of neuroimmunology has expanded
dramatically, thanks largely to new technologies that have advanced our understanding of
the intimate connections between the nervous and immune systems. Here,
we highlight key advances in 2017 that have defined new roles for microglia in brain
maintenance, for cytokines as neuromodulators and for the immune system in peripheral
nerve activity.
