Neuroinflammatory disorders may cause dysmotility and bowel dysfunction
Neuroinflammation can have various causes, including obesity and systemic inflammation. Inflammation can increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, allowing pro-inflammatory markers to enter the brain and contributing to neuroinflammation.
Definition: An inflammatory response or state in the brain that involves functional, morphological and energetic shifts in microglia and ‘reactive’ astrocytes , as well as macrophages that migrate into the brain from the periphery. It is a characteristic of neurodegenerative disorders and brain response to infectious agents or injury
In neuroinflammatory diseases, pathogenic immunity prevails, disrupting the structure and function of the CNS.
T cells, in particular, play a crucial role in neuroinflammation.
The inflamed CNS microenvironment affects T cells.
Increasing Evidence Revealed that Peripheral Immune Cells Might Be Able to Infiltrate into Brain Tissues, Which Could Arouse Neuroinflammation and Aggravate Neurodegeneration
