The psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrine/enteric (PNIE) axis is a fundamental concept in neuroscience, integral to the neuroendocrine system (NES). It encompasses the interactions between behavior, neurology, endocrinology, gut biology, and the immune system. These interactions regulate crucial metabolic processes like glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism, blood pressure, and various homeostatic functions, including blood pressure regulation, thermogenesis and pulmonary hypoxia detection.
