Psychoneuroimmunology  is usually abbreviated as PNI. It is a field of knowledge. Its study concept is the interconnections between the nervous system, the immune system and the endocrine system of our body.

These systems have been studied independently with the aim of analyzing the effects of stress and certain agents on our immune system. Its defenses against f viruses, bacteria and fungi are also subjects of interest.

The main challenge PNI is facing  is to unify mind and body as if it were just a unit to work on, what is known as human pharmacology. The idea is to find a way to influence our immune system and the mechanisms that can affect diseases, seeking to improve our quality of life.

Keys to understanding psychoneuroimmunology

PNI intends to answer this question: Why? It studies the mechanism of action that causes a certain disease or pain to occur.
