Abstract
The immune and sensory nervous systems communicate to maintain homeostasis. Wu et al. recently demonstrated that sensory neurons innervate the mouse spleen. These neurons promote calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-dependent responses in splenic B cell germinal centers (GCs) and antigen-specific antibody production. Dietary capsaicin activates these neurons to enhance humoral immunity against influenza virus infection.
