Although I have learned so much in this course, the one thing I would pick out that must be the most relevant to my future and within my current course work would be the types of immune responses and immune dysregulation. This has been mentioned in other classes of mine, such as microbiology. I want to work in the field of neuroscience, potentially a more psychiatric route, but immunology still plays a role in these areas (There is a specific discipline called psychoneuroimmunology that examines these connections). There are studies that show that dysregulation of an immune response can be found in patients who have mental disorders. For example, Th17 cells are a CD4+ helper T cell that have been found to contribute to stress-induced anxiety and depression. If T cells become dysregulated and unbalanced, there is a possibility of neurodegenerative diseases to occur, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
