Abstract

Recent studies show that interleukin-6 (IL-6) influences not only the immune system, but also learning and memory, but the effects and mechanism are still controversial. This paper reviews studies on major signaling pathways and the effects of IL-6 on learning and memory and preliminarily discusses the mechanism and relevant influent factors of IL-6 towards learning and memory.

Key words： interleukin-6; learning; memory; mechanism
