• The immune-neuroendocrine system is essential to maintain homeostasis specially during stress situations. COVID-19 infection, produce stress, and activates the immune–neuroendocrine system. During the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple studies indicate that the most vulnerable populations are older adults and patients with comorbidities including autoimmune rheumatic diseases. These patients suffer from extremely important situation that favors the inflammatory hyper response due to an inadequate reaction of the immune-neuroendocrine system. This review aims to analyze the findings of the effect of COVID-19 on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal, hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal, hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid, hypothalamic–pituitary–prolactin axes, and central nervous system, as well as the response to this viral infection in older adults and patients with rheumatic diseases and perspectives about this subject.

Article Synopsis
- Over 100 autoimmune diseases affect about 20% of people in developed countries, especially women.
- Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone made in the pituitary gland that plays a big role in both the immune system and other body functions.
- Understanding how PRL can help or hurt the immune system is important for finding new ways to treat autoimmune diseases.

Background: Proinflammatory and neuroendocrine mediators are implicated in disease aetiopathogenesis. Stress increases concentrations of immune-neuroendocrine biomarkers through a complex network of brain-body signalling pathways. Suboptimal sleep further modulates these processes by altering major effector systems that sensitise the brain to stress.

Robust structural remodeling and synaptic plasticity occurs within spinal autonomic circuitry after severe high-level spinal cord injury (SCI). As a result, normally innocuous visceral or somatic stimuli elicit uncontrolled activation of spinal sympathetic reflexes that contribute to systemic disease and organ-specific pathology. How hyperexcitable sympathetic circuitry forms is unknown, but local cues from neighboring glia likely help mold these maladaptive neuronal networks.

Background: Researchers have not studied the integrity, orderly correlation, and dynamic openness of complex organisms and explored the laws of systems from a global perspective. In the context of reductionism, antidepressant development formerly focused on advanced technology and molecular details, clear targets and mechanisms, but the clinical results were often unsatisfactory.
Purpose: MDD represents an aggregate of different and highly diverse disease subtypes.
Dietary tryptophan intervention counteracts stress-induced transcriptional changes in a teleost fish HPI axis during inflammation.

Immune nutrition is currently used to enhance fish health by incorporating functional ingredients into aquafeeds. This study aimed to investigate the connections between tryptophan nutrition and the network that regulates the communication pathways between neuroendocrine and immune systems in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). When tryptophan was supplemented in the diet of unstressed fish, it induced changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis response to stress.
