Read the summary and the most important questions on Immune modulation of learning, memory, neural plasticity and neurogenesis

  • 1 The role of the immune system in learning, memory, neural plasticity and neurogensis under quiescent conditions

  • What is the mayor function of the first chapter?

    To review the physiological beneficial effects of the immune system under normal, quiescent conditions.
  • Does the immune system function autonomously?

    No, the immune system is influenced by the endocrine and the neural system too.
  • Which immune cells do interact with the brain to aid in neural plasticity?

    • microglia
    • astrocytes
    • dendritic cells
    • T cells
    • endothilial cells
  • Which immune systems are involved in synaptic pruning?

    • The MHC-1
    • the complement system
  • How can the brain activate the endocrine system?

    By neural stimulation of the HPA-axis and the autonomic nervous system.
  • Why did the interaction between the immune system and the brain under normal circumstances not receive attention?

    Probably because of the overwhelming evidence for brain inflammation caused by immune processes.
  • 1.1.1 The role of T cells

    This is a preview. There are 5 more flashcards available for chapter 1.1.1

  • What is the main idea about T CD4 cells directed to self-antigens?

    The are thought to be neuroprotective.
  • Who postulated that circulating T cells play a supportive role in brain and mind functioning?

    Jonathan Kipnis and Michaela Schwartz
  • What is Kipnis and Scwartz their claim that T cells are involved in neuroplasticity?

    T cell deficient mice exhibit impaired hippocampal learning and memory.
  • How did Kipnis (2004) restore learning deficits induced by neurotransmitter abnormalities?

    He boosted the T-cells of the animals with a weak agonist of auto-antigen T cells.
