The immune system actively regulates brain activity through the engagement of immune cells and immunomodulatory molecules. In this issue of Immunity, Klawonn et al. show that the activation of microglia in the striatum triggers an IL-6-mediated autocrine loop and the release of prostaglandins, which in turn induce a negative affective state via the stimulation of medium spiny neurons.

Abstract
The immune system actively regulates brain activity through the engagement of immune cells and immunomodulatory molecules. In this issue of Immunity, Klawonn et al. show that the activation of microglia in the striatum triggers an IL-6-mediated autocrine loop and the release of prostaglandins, which in turn induce a negative affective state via the stimulation of medium spiny neurons.File in questo prodotto:
