Recent studies have provided clear evidence on the role of
neural-immune interactions in normal brain function and
neuropathological conditions. Neuroimmune factors, which play an
essential role in neuroinflammatory response, have been implicated
in the regulation of neuronal function and plasticity. Thus,
neural-immune interactions provide a new frame work for
understanding the role of the neuroimmune system in normal brain
function, neurodevelopment, and a variety of neurological
disorders. These advances have a far reaching impact on many areas
of neuroscience, including alcohol research. Studies using human
alcoholic brains, gene knockout mice, and gene expression profiling
have established a clear link between alcoholism and an altered
neuroimmune profile. This book integrates emerging knowledge on
neural-immune interactions with key discoveries in alcohol research
and provides a comprehensive overview of neural-immune interactions
in brain function and behavior associated with alcohol use
disorders. While "Neural Immune Interaction in Brain Function and
Alcohol Related Disorders" focuses on neural-immune interactions in
areas directly related to alcohol use disorders, it is not intended
to be all inclusive. Several areas, including sleep disorders,
pain, and cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathways, are not covered
as independent chapters but briefly mentioned in the text. The
close relevance of these topics to neural-immune interactions and
alcohol use disorders warrants future discussion and more research
efforts."
