This volume contains the contributions to the "3rd Expert Meeting
in Psychoneuroimmunology," held in Munich, Germany in autumn 1997.
Clinical psychiatrists, neuroscientists and researchers in basic
immuno logy from Europe and the USA gather together annually at
this new tra ditional meeting to discuss new findings and trends in
the relationship between psychiatric disorders and the immune
system. Pinpointed at the Munich meeting in particular were the
possible influence of viral infec tions on psychiatric disorders,
especially schizophrenia, and the possible pathophysiological
mechanisms affecting psychiatric disorders. These mechanisms
include viral-induced alteration, cytokine production, and the role
of the HLA system. One chapter is devoted to the influence of viral
infections during pregnancy; another to the first results of
experimental therapy especial ly regarding the immune system. The
immunological aspects not only of schizophrenia but also of
depression, anxiety disorders, sleep and headache were also
discussed at the meeting, and two further chapters cover
methodological aspects related to clinical and experimental
pitfalls in psychoneuroimmunology. The psychoneuroimmunology of
psychiatric disorders is a rapidly expanding field, and research is
increasing on the therapeutic aspects. This is reflected by one of
the main themes of the "4th Expert Meeting in
Psychoneuroimmunology," jointly held in autumn 1998 in Bethesda,
Maryland, USA, with the Stanley Foundation Meeting in
Neurovirology, devoted to therapeutic strategies deriving from
psychoneuroimmunolo gical findings. The "5th Expert Meeting in
Psychoneuroimmunology" will be held in 1999 in Innsbruck, Austria."
