May 2 2024Columbia University The brain can direct the immune system to an unexpected degree, capable of detecting, ramping up and tamping down inflammation, shows a new study in mice from researchers at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute.
Charles S. Zuker, PhD, study's senior author, a principal investigator at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Prior studies in humans revealed that electrically stimulating the vagus nerve -; a bundle of thousands of nerve fibers linking the brain and the body's internal organs -; could reduce the response linked to a specific inflammatory molecule.
