Training individuals to activate the brain’s reward system—particularly deep regions like the ventral striatum can enhance immune responses, including antibody production after vaccination.
This is likely due to the connection between positive expectations and neurochemical release (e.g., dopamine), which modulates immune function. Non-invasive techniques such as neurofeedback or guided visualization may enable people to self-regulate this brain activity. The findings suggest a promising mind-body approach to improving vaccine efficacy and overall health outcomes.
