Experimental animal and adult human data suggest that stress exposure is associated with alterations in immune system function that may underlie increased susceptibility to disease and behavioral disorders. The implications of these data for child psychology and psychiatry are not yet clear. The current review seeks to distil and translate the relevant animal and adult human work to children to advance a developmental model of psychoneuroimmunology. In addition to reviewing key specific findings, we consider biological/conceptual models and technical aspects of psychoneuroimmunology work in pediatric populations, and outline the rationales and advantages of integrating hypotheses concerning neuroinflammation in developmental studies of psychopathology.
实验动物和成年人类的数据表明,暴露于压力之下与免疫系统功能的改变有关,而这可能是易患疾病和行为障碍增加的潜在原因。这些数据对儿童心理学和精神病学的影响尚不清楚。当前的综述旨在提炼与压力相关的动物和成年人类研究成果,并将其转化应用于儿童,以推进心理神经免疫学的发展模型。除了回顾关键的具体研究发现,我们还考虑了儿科人群心理神经免疫学研究的生物学/概念模型和技术方面,并概述了在精神病理学发展研究中整合神经炎症假说的基本原理和优势。
