title: Where is the "neuro" in psychoneuroimmunology? A commentary on increasing research on the "neuro" component of psychoneuroimmunology.
abstract: The role of the central nervous system in generating the interrelationships among stress, endocrine and peripheral immune function, and disease receives relatively little experimental attention. This commentary encourages a greater emphasis on such research with a particular emphasis on the use of electrophysiological and neural imaging techniques.
