| Sickness behavior consists of the
nonspecific symptoms which we commonly associate with illness. This
pattern of behavior change represents a coordinated effort to help the
immune system fight off pathogens. |
| |
| Through the examination of sickness
behavior, psychologists may study the consequences of immune system
activation. |
| |
| Currently, I have been using sickness
behaviors, such as reduced food consumption and body temperature to
investigate multiple stimulation of the innate
immune system. |
