The brain controls most of the activities of the body , processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system .
Neuroimmunology is a field combining neuroscience, the study of the nervous system, and immunology, the study of the immune system.Neuroimmunologists seek to better understand the interactions of these two complex systems during development, homeostasis, and response to injuries.
