Abstrakt: Neurons are the cells of the nervous system and are responsible for every thought, movement and perception. Immune cells are the cells of the immune system, constantly protecting from foreign pathogens. Understanding the interaction between the two systems is especially important in disease states such as autoimmune or neurodegenerative disease. Unfortunately, this interaction is typically detrimental to the host. However, recent efforts have focused on how neurons and immune cells interact, either directly or indirectly, following traumatic injury to the nervous system. The outcome of this interaction can be beneficial - leading to successful neural repair, or detrimental - leading to functional deficits, depending on where the injury occurs. This review will discuss our understanding of neuron-immune cell interactions after traumatic injury to both the peripheral and central nervous system.
