Resumen:

Over the last decades much evidence of communication between the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems has accumulated. This communication has a solid molecular basis. The messengers are hormones, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, cytokines, and their receptors. These messengers have endocrine action (at a distance), paracrine action (on the neighboring cells), and autocrine action (on the cells themselves). The integrated bidirectional communication of the three systems, now called the immune-neuroendocrine system, regulates the adaptive response to stress [1]. Stressful situations, such as the ones induced by an inflammatory or infectious process, the activation of autoimmunity, trauma, surgery, and emotional events, trigger a series of reactions that activate the immune-neuroendocrine system. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2012.
