Beyond their roles in development and homeostasis, neuronal cytokine sensing allows the central nervous system (CNS) to detect early immune perturbations, such as those triggered by emerging infections. Because neurons are postmitotic cells, rapid antipathogen responses are essential to prevent cell loss and ensure host survival. However, when CNS inflammation persists, as in chronic neuroinflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis or in age-associated inflammageing, cytokine signalling can become maladaptive and drive disease pathology.
