Neurons with IL-17 receptor (IMAGE) Washington University School of Medicine Caption Neurons (green) in a mouse brain have a receptor (cyan) that detects the immune molecule IL-17. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered that a molecule produced by the immune system acts on the brain to change the behavior of mice.
