Recent data indicates that neuroimmunological changes in the brain can modify intrinsic brain processes that are involved in regulating neuroplasticity (e.g., T-cell/microglial interactions, neurotrophins, neurogenesis). We describe: 1) work from our lab and others showing that injury-induced loss of neuronal phenotype and reversal of motor neuron atrophy are associated with normal T cell immunity, and; 2) research indicating that these and other neuroimmunological processes may be generalizable to mechanisms of neuroplasticity involved in cognitive and emotional behavior. These findings are discussed in relation to our lab's working hypothesis, that T cell immunosenesence may contribute to alterations in brain neuroplasticity related to aging. Greater understanding of the role of adaptive T cell immunity on neuroplasticity could have important clinical implications for developing novel treatment strategies for neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's) and brain injury (e.g., stroke, trauma).</p>","PeriodicalId":90716,"journal":{"name":"Recent research developments in neuroscience","volume":"4 ","pages":"109-119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4295499/pdf/nihms644941.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32984157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
