Summary

Once thought to be an immune-privileged site, we now know that there is a complex and essential bidirectional interplay between the central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system (1). Technological advances in imaging, genomic medicine and immunology have resulted in major revisions to some of the most fundamental and long-held assumptions in neuroscience, and we now understand that the immune system is critically involved not only in brain pathology, but also in the normal processes of brain development and homeostasis.
