Keith W. Kelley is an American immunophysiologist, researcher and academic.He is Professor Emeritus of Immunophysiology at the University of Illinois.Kelley was chosen as the second Editor-In-Chief of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity in 2003 [1] and served in that capacity for 15 years. [2]
Brain, Behavior, and Immunity is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier. It was established in 1987 by Robert Ader, [1] and covers research on the relationship between the nervous system, psychology, and the immune system. It is the official journal of the PsychoNeuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS).
Mechanisms for the behavioral immune system include sensory processes through which cues connoting the presence of parasitic infections are perceived (e.g., the smell of a foul odor, the sight of pox or pustules), as well as stimulus–response systems through which these sensory cues trigger a cascade of aversive affective, cognitive, and behavioral reactions (e.g., arousal of disgust ...
The immune system and the brain communicate through signaling pathways. The brain and the immune system are the two major adaptive systems of the body. Two major pathways are involved in this cross-talk: the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), via the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary axis (SAM ...
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.
Nelson has conducted research in four fields (1) seasonality in physiology and behavior, (2) photoperiodism and immune function (3), circadian rhythms and sleep, and (4) aggression). Although much of his early research was on reproductive physiology and behavior, his lab started to use day length as a precise environmental probe to elicit ...

The key cellular components of the neuroimmune system are glial cells, including astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes. [1] [2] [5] Unlike other hematopoietic cells of the peripheral immune system, mast cells naturally occur in the brain where they mediate interactions between gut microbes, the immune system, and the central nervous system as part of the microbiota–gut–brain axis.
