Abstract:
It is traditionally thought that interleukins are produced by immunocytes. However, abundant evidence indicates that neuron and neuroglia also produce and excrete interleukins. Brain derived interleukins have reciprocal action with multiple neurotransmitters, and influence animal's behavior, learning and memory. Moreover, brain derived interleukins are involved in Alzheimers disease, depression and so on. Further investigation on brain derived interleukins may improve in understanding the pathophysiology of some related diseases.
