Abstract
It is traditionally thought that interleukins are produced by immunocytes. However, abundant evidence indicates that neuron and neuroglia also produce and excrete interleukins. Brain-derived interleukins have reciprocal action with multiple neurotransmitters, and influence animal's behavior, learning and memory. Moreover, brain-derived interleukins are involved in Alzheimers disease, depression and so on. Further investigation on brain-derived interleukins may improve in understanding the pathophysiology of some related diseases.
