Abstract

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern‐recognition receptors expressed on cells of the innate immune system that allow for the recognition of conserved structural motifs on a wide array of pathogens, referred to as pathogen‐associated molecular patterns, as well as some endogenous molecules. The recent emergence of studies examining TLRs in the central nervous system (CNS) indicates that these receptors not only play a role in innate immunity in response to infectious diseases but may also participate in CNS autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, and tissue injury. This review summarizes the experimental evidence demonstrating a role for TLRs in the context of CNS inflammation in both infectious and noninfectious conditions. Β© 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Previous physiological and pharmacological evidence has suggested a neurotransmitter role for the excitatory amino acid glutamate in the leech central nervous system (CNS).
