Overview

Review demonstrates peripheral T and B cell regulation of neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in the central nervous system, highlighting novel therapeutic avenues.

Key Points

To summarize current understanding of how peripheral adaptive immune T and B cells interact with the central nervous system to modulate cognitive function in health, aging, and disease.
Narrative synthesis of molecular and cellular studies assessing peripheral lymphocyte interactions with the central nervous system across aging, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders.
T- and B-cell subsets display dual roles in cognitive regulation, maintaining baseline neurological homeostasis under physiological conditions while promoting neuroinflammation during pathological states.
Blood-brain barrier disruption enables peripheral lymphocyte infiltration into the central nervous system, where they actively modulate the neuroinflammatory microenvironment via crosstalk with glial cells.
Meningeal immunity and lymphatic drainage pathways serve as essential anatomical and functional interfaces linking peripheral adaptive immune responses with central cognitive processing.
