For decades, the brain was thought to be an immune-privileged organ that was physically separated from the immune system in a strategic effort to limit potentially deleterious actions of immune signaling on the central nervous system (CNS). However, emerging evidence now points to critical roles for immunology in almost every facet of fundamental neurobiology including normal brain development, cognition, and behavioral control. Moreover, the immune system is now recognized to be centrally involved in the vast majority of major neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, glioblastoma, mental illness, autism, pain, and addiction just to name a few. Even less brain-centric disorders like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and intestinal disorders are now recognized to be highly influenced by neuroimmunology via the microbiome-neuroimmune and the vagus nerve-neuroimmune axes1, 2.In contrast to other peripheral organs where immune cells can inflict significant collateral damage without serious consequences, damage to bystander CNS neurons by the immune system may be permanent, thus requiring neuroimmune responses to be tightly controlled. The brain is equipped with numerous unique structural, cellular, and molecular characteristics to keep immune responses in check. The specialized cell types, nervous system-derived molecular signals, and anatomical features that govern immune cells in the CNS will be discussed in this special issue of Immunological Reviews. This special issue will also explore how reciprocal crosstalk between the CNS and the immune system contributes to health and disease.
