Pioneering discoveries on the brain and immune defense

It’s true that the brain governs the body, but the body also governs the brain, for example when the immune defense system makes us rest when we’re sick. This is shown in research that the world’s leading researchers and Nobel laureates will be presenting at an international conference in the research field of psychoneuroimmunology in Stockholm in June. This is research that has led to, among other things, new knowledge about the development of depression, severe stress accelerating aging, and how anti-depressive drugs largely function as placebos.
