Neural control of inflammation by the greater splanchnic nerves
The brain influences immune function through a powerful neural reflex that suppresses the release of a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor α, after immune challenge. The efferent motor pathway of this reflex is in the splanchnic nerves, not the vagi. This reflex regulates inflammati...

| Sumario: | The brain influences immune function through a powerful neural reflex that suppresses the release of a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor α, after immune challenge. The efferent motor pathway of this reflex is in the splanchnic nerves, not the vagi. This reflex regulates inflammation but does not suppress fever. |
