ISNIM is a professional society composed
of clinical and basic research scientists from all over the
world. Its members are concerned with the communication and
regulatory mechanisms integrating the nervous, endocrine and
immune systems in both health and disease. Specifically, ISNIM
members investigate neural and endocrine mechanisms of immune
regulation as well as the effects of peripheral and central
immune responses on brain function. Of particular interest
are the mechanisms by which local and systemic inflammation
act upon the brain, and in turn, how the brain regulates inflammation
via direct innervation and release of humoral factors. Neuroimmunomodulation
(NIM) is also intimately linked to physiological processes
such as temperature regulation, sleep induction, appetite
control, energy metabolism, and behavior. Thus NIM research,
through its interdisciplinary approaches, contributes to understanding
the complex interactions linking the major control and sensory
systems of the body in health and disease.
