Advanced concepts in neuroimmunology: from environmental stressors to neurological disorders

Environmental stressors, such as psychological pressure or pathogens, are suspected to play a role in triggering or favouring neurological disorders. This deleterious effect may even affect the offspring under some conditions. Both the host microbiota and nerve afferents are able to mediate the effects on such environmental stressors on the brain.

A workshop entitled « Advanced concepts in neuroimmunology: from environmental stressors to neurological disorders »  will take place on the 24th of November in Strasbourg. It will address the (patho)physiological neuroimmune mechanisms triggered under the effect of some environmental stressors.
