Abstract
Hallucinations have long been associated with mental health disorders, often thought to arise from a dysfunction within the brain itself. However, recent advancements in neuroimmunology a field that studies the interaction between the nervous and immune systems—suggest that the immune system may play a far more significant role in these mental health phenomena than previously believed. Understanding how immune responses can contribute to hallucinations provides new insights into the complex relationship between the brain, immunity, and mental health.
