    GlossaryNeuroinflammation

    inflammation of nervous tissue involving immune cell activation

    Neuroinflammation refers to the inflammation of the nervous tissue, which can occur in the brain or spinal cord. It is typically a response to infection, injury, or disease and involves the activation of immune cells within the central nervous system. This process can contribute to various neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and even some forms of alopecia, where the immune response may inadvertently target hair follicles.
