A substantial body of information now indicates that the nervous and immune systems are integrated and form an interdependent neuroimmune network (see also: Cytokine network) with a complex and extensive array of endocrine, neurocrine, paracrine and autocrine interactions between different cell types (Petrovsky et al, 2001; Alford, 2007; Cohen, 2006; Irwin, 2008; Opp, 2006). The network between nervous, endocrine and immune systems is being referred to also as Neural-endocrine-immune system, (Besedovsky and Sorkin, 1977). Communication between these three systems is mediated through the release of neurotransmitters, hormones, and cytokines (for overview see also: Webster et al, 2002; Mravec et al, 2006).
