TW I’m in love with elithyst works! !READ:Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a disease occurring when antibodies produced by the body’s own immune system attack NMDA receptors in the brain. NMDA receptors are proteins that control electrical impulses in the brain. Their functions are critical for judgement, perception of reality, human interaction, the formation and retrieval of memory, and the control of unconscious activities (such as breathing, swallowing, etc), also known as autonomic functions. Antibodies are an important part of the body’s defense system. All healthy individuals produce antibodies against viruses, bacteria or tumours. Under normal circumstances, the body prevents production of antibodies against its own (‘host’) tissues. In some individuals, however, antibodies that target the host may be produced. When this occurs the patient is said to have an “auto immune” (i.e., originating from one’s self) disease. ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО ПРОЧИТАЙТЕ: Анти-NMDA-рецепторный энцефалит — тяжёлая острая форма эн
