Infections, our immune system and the brain

In this webinar, "Understanding the connection between infections, our immune system and the brain," Dr. Shimasaki discusses the biology behind infection-triggered autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders and how testing with the Autoimmune Brain Panel™ (formerly known as the Cunningham Panel™) can assist clinicians in diagnosing and treating these complex illnesses.
