| Description | Recent evidence indicates that various types of interactions between nervous and immune system are important in pathogenesis of depression. These findings show that a significant role in developing depression play proinflammatory cytokines that may mediate its psychological and neurobiological manifestations. Results of the present study suggest that TNF-alfa alterations related to dissociation could present a specific process of immunomodulation that may be explained by mutual influences between stress and neuroimmune system. |
