Document Summary
Immunity (il-1) -> vagal nerve -> brain -> depression, anxiety, etc. Not substance p like he mentioned in class (involved in eating processes instead) Bdnf on exam for sure, but unsure if polymorphism is on it (but you can bring it up in answer) Phobias most likely just m/c questions (what"s the treatment?) Pro vs. anti-inflammatory cytokines (which ones are inhibitory, for example?) Il-6 excitatory - i think he said; released from muscles also an inhibitory myokine. Uncontrollable events - nothing i do matters - helplessness - depression (helplessness) One experience has some sort of effect that influences response to future stressors (increases) In immune system: antibodies on b cells will bind to particle, marks particle, antibody activates to this specific thing. Exposure allows these antibodies to remember and attack faster. Vaccines (identifies small little bit of virus, then produces full response if exposed to transmitted and active virus) Don"t need know history of how vaccines came about.
