 Neuroinflammation is a process in which the body's immune system responds to damage in the central nervous system, CNS. It has been associated with several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia among older people. In addition, neuroinflammation can impair the production of new neurons, also known as adult neurogenesis, which is essential for maintaining healthy cognitive function. To address these issues, researchers are developing treatments to reduce inflammatory responses in the CNS.
