Abstract. One of the unique features of the nervous system is its tremendous organizational complexity. It is this complexity, well adapted to subserve function, which makes the particular site of a chemical reaction in the brain a parameter of essentially equal importance to substrate and enzyme activity in determining outcome.

The central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system were for many years considered as two autonomous systems. Now, the reciprocal connections between them are generally recognized and very well documented. The links are realized mainly by various immuno- and by:   The omnipresence of adenosine and A 2A and A 1 ARs in all nervous system cells (neurons and glia), together with the intensive release of adenosine following insults, makes adenosine a kind of “maestro” of the tripartite synapse in the homeostatic coordination of the brain by: Vanderhaeghen and coworkers and Dockray obtained evidence for a gastrin-cholecystokin-(CCK)-like peptide in the mammalian -immunological studies have demonstrated a wide distribution of this peptide in the brain and in the peripheral nervous system (Beinfeld et al., ).The CCK-like immunoreactivity is mainly attributable to the presence of the C-terminal octapeptide which also Cited by: 3.

Central and peripheral administration of cytokines influence fever, sleep and eating behaviours, locomotor and exploratory behaviour, and mood states; the recent therapeutic use of interferons in human disease has been associated with neurological and psychiatric side effects Endocrine-immune interactions In addition to autonomic nervous system activity, the immune system is influenced by neuroendocrine Cited by: The molecular and cellular environment of each tissue demands particular emphasis, as do the natural anatomical structure and relevant animal models for repair.

Given the complex interactions between neurons, glia, and the immune system in vivo, it is important to note that to date TE has only encompassed limited areas of by: The Nervous System terms Learn with flashcards, games, and more — for free.

Moody, ed., Plenum Press, New York, pp – (). Interaction between perivascular Author: G. Feuerstein. Psychoactive amines, such as histamine and serotonin, act on the neural transmitters in the central nervous system. Vasoactive amines act directly or indirectly on the vascular system.

Pressor amines – tyramine, tryptamine, and phenylethylamine – cause a rise in blood pressure by constricting the vascular system and increasing the heart rate and contraction force. This article reviews some of the variety of roles played by amines and peptides in crustacean nervous systems.

Any disturbances in the internal environment are monitored by sense organs: for example chemoreceptors sensitive to the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood, mechanoreceptors sensitive to blood pressure, and chemoreceptors within the central nervous system itself sensitive to hydrogen ion concentration or to various : A.
