About the course
Focuses on the interaction between the immune and nervous systems at molecular, cellular and systems levels.

Course structure
The module is delivered as 10 x 3 hours of seminar-style sessions designed to encourage interaction and discussion between lecturers and students

Credit requirements
- Prior to each seminar, you are required to read and be prepared to discuss recent reviews on the areas covered in the seminar

What does it cover?
- Focuses on the interaction between the immune and nervous systems at molecular, cellular and systems levels. 
- Provides an overview of current and developing concepts in neuroimmunology from both neuroscience and immunology perspectives.
- Aims to familiarise students with the:
• Molecular and cellular elements of interconnectivity between the  immune and nervous systems
• Effect of neuro-immuno interaction on physiological responses and disease processes

Why enrol?
On completion, you will be able to:
- Appreciate how recent developments in neuroimmunology are changing established concepts in both immunology and neuroscience
- Evaluate new developments from a perspective that encompasses concepts and paradigms from both immunology and neuroscience perspectives
- Apply neuroimmunological concepts to their own research
