The neuronal and immune systems are ontogenically independent organs with an independent function which preserves the homeostasis of the body. The recent evidence provided information that immune system could be activated by non-antigenic stimulus e.g.stress. The information on bidirectional communication between the neuronal and immune systems has been growing, while increasing evidence suggests that neuromodulators released from the neuronal systems influence the immune cells. In addition, the activated immune cells release an array of immunomodulators that influence the physiologinc function of the nervous system. An attempt was made to recover the altered immune function following the exposure to stress by the treatment of the olfactory system with various fragrances. Through the deta with the experimentally designed models it was also defined that the individual sensitivity to the fragrances was found to be modulated by the genetic background of the individual.
