|
| PNI (psychoneuroimmunology) consists of the study
of the interaction between the brain, behavior, and the immune system. |
| |
| While the majority of research conducted in the
area of PNI has been focused on the idea that behavior and psychological
status can impact the functioning of the immune system, within the past
several years it has become clear that there is a bidirectional
relationship between these systems. |
| |
| As a result, a large amount of research within the
field of PNI is now made up of studies which examine the impact of immune
system activation on behavior and psychological functioning. |
| |
| One example of the impact of immune activation on behavior can be seen
in sickness behavior. |
