Abstract

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) studies the psychological influences in immune function, psychosocial variables in disease and healing, experimental immune conditioning of animals, and biological mechanisms underlying these processes. The field of psychoneuroimmunology has only begun to emerge as a distinct discipline in the past decade, although studies in this area have been underway since the 1960s. At that time the major hypothesis was that life stress through PNI links could exert an immunosuppressive influence.[1]
