Rhyothemis<p>Finding a Master Immune System Controller</p><p>'In a series of groundbreaking, elegant experiments ... a team led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Charles Zuker has found that one controller of the immune system actually lies elsewhere—in the brain. The researchers showed that a group of nerve cells in the brainstem acts like a master controller or rheostat, sending and receiving signals from vagal neurons in the body to either boost inflammation or dial it down. '<br>...<br>'The first big question for Zuker’s group, therefore, was whether the brain really does respond to signals from the immune system. To find out, his team injected mice with a known immune stimulant, lipopolysaccharide, then searched the mouse brain to see if any specific areas were being activated by the signal. The quest was like “looking for a needle in a haystack,” says Medzhitov. But it worked. The researchers pinpointed an area of the brainstem called the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract. That was “extraordinarily exciting,” recalls Hao Jin, a postdoctoral fellow in Zuker’s lab who led these studies. Previous work by Zuker’s team had shown that this area of the brain received other body-brain signals up the vagus nerve highway.
