| Abstract;Bronchial asthma is characterized by 3 features; 1) bronchial hypersensitivity, 2) diffuse bronchial obstruction and 3) chronic inflammation induced by the T-lymphocytes, mast cells and eosinophils. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is related to all of these 3 features. Recent advances m the field of neurochemistry revealed the involvement of sensory neuropeptides to the inflammation in the airway. The role of ANS and sensory nerve in inflammation and keeping homeostasis of airway, parasympathetic involvement in suggested airway constriction and conditioned asthmatic attack, increased tonus of sympathetic nerve after anterior hypothalamic lesioning which suppress the immediate and late allergic reaction, are reviewed.
