Psychoneuroimmunology, a rapidly developing field, has to do with the complex bidirectional interactions between the central nervous system and the immune system. Neuroendocrine influences modulate immune function, and there is feedback from the immune system to the brain. CNS‐immune interaction appears to play a role in psychosocial influences on immunologically resisted and mediated diseases. With the growing evidence now at hand, over 30 “postulates” can be proposed for specific implication of CNS‐immune interaction.
