Wilson Savino, Priscilla Oliveira Silva and Hugo Besedovsky, Editors; Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 1153: 1-274, 2009
Neuroimmunomodulation involves interactions between the immune and nervous systems at all levels and includes observations on brain, pituitary, peripheral nervous system, and immune cells. The central nervous system alters the immune response through the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system. This volume focuses the molecular basis of connecting pathways in neuroimmunomodulation; cytokines and/or chemokines that regulate nervous and/or endocrine tissues; behavioral effects on neuroimmunomodulation; and stress, inflammation, and disease.
Neuroendocrine and Immune Crosstalk (6th International ISNIM Congress)
George P. Chrousos, Gregory A. Kaltsas, Editors; Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 1088, 2006
Crosstalk between the neuroendocrine and
immune systems plays an essential role in inflammatory, autoimmune,
and allergic diseases. An international group of scientists
from the fields of neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, immunology,
and behavioral sciences reports here on recent advances in
our understanding of the communication and modulation taking
place between the neuroendocrine and immunological systems...
Neuroendocrine
and Neural Regulation of Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disease:
Molecular, Systems, and Clinical Insights (5th International ISNIM Congress)
Esther M. Sternberg, France C. Haour, and Craig C. Smith,
Editors; Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 992, 2003
As the field of Neuroimmunomodulation has progressed from
its inception, it has matured in both rigor and complexity.
These changes are dramatically reflected in the papers in
this volume. This conference purposefully focused on the role
of neural and neuroendocrine factors in autoimmune, inflammatory,
allergic and infectious disease, in part because of the exponential
growth and diversity of the field, but also to draw emphasis
to the movement of the field towards more focused translational
and clinically relevant research. Whereas in previous volumes
there was a strong focus on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal
axis and the role of its key hormones corticotrophin releasing
hormone (CRH) and glucocorticoids in inflammation, it is the
intent of this volume to also emphasize the many other neural
and other neuroendocrine and endocrine pathways and hormones
that regulate the immune system and immune mediated diseases.
This will be a valuable resource for every investigator in
the field.
Neuroimmunomodulation:
Perspectives at the New Millennium (4th International ISNIM Congress)
Ario Conti, Georges J.M. Maestroni, Samuel M. McCann, Esther
M. Sternberg, James M. Lipton and Craig C. Smith, Editors;
Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., Vol. 917, 2000
Focuses on 16 different areas of research, with special emphasis
on relating the state of the art (basic) neuroimmunomodulation
research to its potential practical application in specific
fields. Among these, the role of pro- & anti-inflammatory
cytokines in the central nervous system; peripheral mechanisms
of neuroimmunomodulation; behavioral studies and immunity;
and neuroimmunomodulation correlates in autoimmune disease;
represent areas of particular emphasis. Also highlighted are
studies related to the role of melatonin as an immunomodulatory
hormone (an area of explosive growth), as well as the emerging
field of neuroendocrine regulation of hematopoiesis. Clinical
studies in cancer, allergy, AIDS, and other infectious diseases
will focus upon neuroimmunomodulation-based mechanisms, and
suggest new therapeutic approaches.
Neuroimmunomodulation:
Molecular Aspects, Integrative Systems, and Clinical Advances (3rd International ISNIM Congress)
Samuel M. McCann, Esther M. Sternberg, James
M. Lipton, George P. Chrousos, Philip W. Gold & Craig
C. Smith, Editors; Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 840:1-866, 1998 (out
of print)
This newly recognized discipline is devoted
to interactions between the immune and nervous systems at
all levels and includes observation on brain, pituitary, peripheral
nervous system, and immune cells. Nitric oxide synthase is
contained within neurons in the brain and modifies behavioral
and hormonal responses by acting on other neurons and on release
of peptides and other transmitters through activation of guanylate
cyclase and cyclooxygenase. Increases in this and in expression
of proinflammatory cytokines can contribute to damage in patients
with multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, meningitis, stroke,
and Alzheimer's disease.

Reversal
of Aging: Resetting the Pineal Clock
Walter Pierpaoli, Jean Choa, Editors; Ann.
N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 1057, 2005
The body of research on the process of human
aging has grown considerably in recent years, and the reports
presented here explore a full range of approaches to this
research, from the molecular and genetic to the cellular and
organismic levels. The contributing scientists identify the
processes of aging and find functional and mechanistic approaches
that may delay, prevent, or arrest the progress of aging and
those ailments generally linked to senescence, such as metabolic,
cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases.
Glucocorticoid
Action: Basic and Clinical Implications
Tomoshige Kino, Evangelia Charmandari, George
P. Chrousos, Editors; Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 1024, 2004
Glucocorticoids regulate multiple metabolic
and developmental processes and play a vital role in the maintenance
of basal and stress-related homeostasis. For the last 50 years,
pharmacologic doses of glucocorticoids have been used in the
treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, and lymphoproliferative
diseases and in the prevention of allograft rejection, while
substitution doses have been employed in the management of
adrenocortical insufficiency. This volume presents the most
recent advances in the basic and clinical aspects of glucocorticoid
action…

Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 876, 1999 (out of print)
Brings together experts studying a wide variety of disorders
involving neuroendocrine responses in differing ways in immune
disorders. The book discusses the links between endocrine
factors and immune responses in an attempt to develop a systematic
approach involving the common mechanisms that underlie these
disorders in different body sites and tissues.
Elsevier
Science Neuroimmune Biology Book Series
Neuroimmune Biology (NIB)
marks the beginning of a new scientific discipline, and is
presented in this book series. This series will collect, organise,
co-ordinate, integrate and interpret the knowledge that is
rapidly accumulating in biology regarding the physiology and
pathophysiology of higher organisms. It is now apparent that
the Nervous-, Endocrine-, and Immune systems form a regulatory
network, which is fundamental for the entire life cycle of
man and of higher animals, both in health and disease. The
organisation and interpretation of knowledge concerning this
regulatory system is important for a better understanding
of higher organisms in their entire complexity.
NIB holds the promise of developing better approaches for
the prevention and cure of human and animal diseases and for
the development of better methods for the management of biological
systems.
