The last decade has seen an upsurge of information on the role of immune responses
in neurodegenerative disorders. In many of these diseases it is still unclear whether
the innate and adaptive responses are pathogenic or play a role in repair, and thus
understanding their precise roles is key to controlling these diseases by designing
immune-therapeutic approaches. The connection between many neurological diseases is
the realisation that the immune and nervous systems are inextricable linked, and that
perturbations in this delicate balance are involved in many disorders. This has opened
