Alcohol dependence disrupts signaling balance in a stress-processing brain region, according to new findings from the Fardon lab published in #FrontPharmacol. Blocking either pathway reduces relapse-like behavior, while inhibiting both cancels the effect.

Just as we can distinguish between the sting of heat and the chill of cold, our immune system is finely tuned to detect a range of threats—from viruses and bacteria to allergens and injury—thanks to constant crosstalk between sensory neurons and immune cells.
