This course will discuss growing evidence of communication between the brain and the immune system, and of the messengers mediating the interaction. We will discuss how disturbances of immune-brain signaling can lead to disease (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s) and to changes in mood and cognition. Prerequisite(s): NEUR 3200 or PSYC 3200.Lectures and seminars three hours a week.
