Thinking is a more complicated thing than we imagined.

For a long time, researchers have known that neurons interact or cooperate with immune cells. Researchers found hidden waves in the mouse's brain's blood flow. That means. Other cells can play a far bigger role in the thinking process. Than we ever imagined. 

If researchers create a way to reprogram immune cells, that makes a new model for medicines. If immune cells could carry neurotransmitters, they can transport memories and reactions that offer new treatments for fixing neural damage. 

Also, the ability to program the immune system gives fundamental visions for many things. Programmed immune cells can remove so-called zombie cells. And that offers a new way to prevent cancer. 

But if we want to control a system. We must know all its components. Things like blood cells and blood plasma roles in neural interactions remained unknown. Blood plasma and immune cells could transport neurotransmitters as well as DNA bites. We know. It's possible to store information in DNA because our phobias, like spider fear, are stored in the DNA molecule. The process itself has been unknown. But it's possible. The immune system plays some role in it. 

Previously unknown waves in the mouse's brain cortex's blood challenged previous models. The two-way interaction between neurons and immune cells is an interesting thing. 

Theoretically, immune cells can transport neurotransmitters. And that opens new doors for the immune system and its role in the human body. Nobody saw a process that macrophage or some other immune cell transports neurotransmitters between neurons.

It's possible. That macrophage receives neurotransmitters first. And then neurons send orders to macrophages using electric impulses. First, neurons store information in neurotransmitters. And then, they send those neurotransmitters over synapses, when neurons communicate with each other.

The neurotransmitter stores information in the electric form, or it launches certain electric impulses in receiving cells. That means. It's possible. That neuron can control macrophages through similar neurotransmitters. That means the neurotransmitters are medium when neuron reprograms macrophages. 

Cooperation between the brain and immune system is one key element for effective medicine. Understanding that means that we can create more effective medicals. That is based on immune system control. The medicine uses its immune cells to attack non-wanted cells. And the other thing is this. If immune cells can transport neurotransmitters, that could revolutionize neural damage treatment.
