Listen "Interlude XIII — Neuroimmunology: When the Brain Meets Immunity"
Episode Synopsis
What if emotion were an immune response?
What if the dialogue between inflammation and thought shaped not only how we heal—but how we hope?
In this interlude, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey explores the emerging science of neuroimmunology, where the immune and nervous systems reveal themselves as co-authors of consciousness.
Through the work of Ronald Duman (Yale University), Harry Male (University of Illinois), and Jonathan Kipnis (Washington University in St. Louis), we trace how cytokines, microglia, and lymphatic pathways sculpt mood, memory, and meaning.
From autoimmune melancholy to the “sickness behavior” that demands rest, this episode unveils the silent director behind cognition itself—
showing that inflammation and illumination may be closer kin than we ever imagined.
