Psychoneuroimmunology, often referred to as PNI, is the study of interactions between ones perception of the world around him, his behaviour, the way his brain and immune system functions. The field of PNI studies the measurable interaction between psychological and physiological processes. The psychological portion is the psycho aspect, the central nervous system aspect is the neuro aspect, there is an endocrine system aspect, and the body's defense against external infection and aberrant cell division is the immunology aspect.
