A member asked:
Can the immune system attack and damage certain nerves in the brain if targeted and if so what would cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can.: The classical example is multiple sclerosis in which the covering on the nerves gets attacked and damaged by the immune system leading to short-circuiting in nerve conduction.
