Neocortical lateralization of NK activity in mice

Neocortical lateralization of NK activity in mice

P Bardos et al. Scand J Immunol. 1981.

Abstract

The natural killer (NK) reactivity of mouse spleen cells is controlled by the left brain neocortex and not by the right symmetrical brain area. The finding strongly suggests direct relationships between the central nervous system and the immune system, both involved in biological adaptation for the maintenance of homeostasis and body integrity in relation to the external environment.
