Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a field of study that investigates the interactions and communication between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. It explores how psychological factors, such as stress, emotions, and cognitive processes, can influence immune function and how immune responses, in turn, can impact neurological and psychological processes.
