“If you are sick, there are too many things that are happening to your inner states, your mood and your practical states, and it is not just you physically tired. It has something to do with the brain,” she says.

In the cortex, researchers found some receptors in the population of neurons, which when overseas, mice can cause low sociality such as autism. But researchers determined that neurons become less stimulating when a specific form of IL-17 binds receptors, so the potential light sheds why the symptoms of autism in children often have fever. Choi hypotheses that IL-17 may develop as a neuromodulator and was “kidnapped” only by the later immune system.

Meanwhile, researchers also found two types of IL -17 receptors in a certain population of neurons in Amigdala, which plays an important role in processing emotions. When these receptors tie two forms of IL-17, neurons become more stimulating, leading to an increase in anxiety.

Ultimately, such conclusions can help researchers develop new remedies for conditions such as autism and depression.
