In a great partnership, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and the Hertie Foundation organized the FENS-Hertie 2022 Winter School on ‘Neuro-immune interactions in health and disease’. The school selected 27 PhD students and 13 postdoctoral fellows from 20 countries and involved 14 faculty members experts in the field. The Winter School focused on a rising field of research, the interactions between the nervous and both innate and adaptive immune systems under pathological and physiological conditions. A fine-tuned neuro-immune crosstalk is fundamental for healthy development, while disrupted neuro-immune communication might play a role in neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and aging. However, much is yet to be understood about the underlying mechanisms of these neuro-immune interactions in the healthy brain and under pathological scenarios. In addition to new findings in this emerging field, novel methodologies and animal models were presented to foment research on neuro-immunology. The FENS-Hertie 2022 Winter School provided an insightful knowledge exchange between students and faculty focusing on the latest discoveries in the biology of neuro-immune interactions while fostering great academic and professional opportunities for early-career neuroscientists from around the world.

健康和疾病中的神经免疫相互作用：FENS-Hertie 2022 冬季学校的见解

欧洲神经科学学会联合会 (FENS) 和 Hertie 基金会密切合作，组织了 FENS-Hertie 2022 年冬季学校，主题为“健康和疾病中的神经免疫相互作用”。学校从20个国家选拔了27名博士生和13名博士后，并聘请了14名该领域的专家。冬季学校专注于一个新兴的研究领域，即病理和生理条件下神经与先天和适应性免疫系统之间的相互作用。微调的神经免疫串扰是健康发育的基础，而神经免疫通讯中断可能在神经退行性变、神经炎症和衰老中发挥作用。然而，关于健康大脑和病理情况下这些神经免疫相互作用的潜在机制仍有待了解。除了这个新兴领域的新发现之外，还提出了新的方法和动物模型来促进神经免疫学的研究。 FENS-Hertie 2022 冬季学校为学生和教师之间提供了一次富有洞察力的知识交流，重点关注神经免疫相互作用生物学的最新发现，同时为来自世界各地的早期职业神经科学家提供良好的学术和专业机会。
