About this Research Topic
The 14th International Congress of Neuroimmunology, ISNI 2018, was held in August 2018 in Brisbane, Australia, and is a biennial event organized by the International Society of Neuroimmunology (ISNI). The theme of ISNI 2018 was “Travelling the Neuroimmunological Translational Highway”, and the Congress highlighted many research discoveries that bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences, and which impact our understanding of pathogenic immune-mediated mechanisms in diseases affecting the nervous system.
In this Research Topic, we aim to give a comprehensive overview of topics highlighted at the Congress, showcasing the current state of the field of neuroimmunology and where it is going in the near future.
We welcome the submission of Original Research, Review, Mini-Review, Methods, Protocols and Hypothesis and Theory articles covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Degeneration and regeneration in the nervous system
• Brain autoantibodies in neuroimmune disorders
• Neuroimmune disorders of the peripheral nervous system
• Role of B cells in multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmune conditions
• Immune-mediated psychiatric illnesses
• Imaging neuroinflammation
• New treatment approaches in multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmune disorders
• Role of T cells in multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmune conditions
• Models in neuroimmunology
• Nervous system injury and immunity
• The microbiome in multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmune conditions
• The role of glia in neuroimmunology
• Innate mediators of inflammation
• Role of microglia in CNS development and degeneration
• Advances in progenitors and stem cell research
• Genetic basis of neuroinflammation
• Infection and the nervous system
• Interactions between peripheral and CNS
