According to a recent study, the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) may cause an uncommon autoimmune brain condition that, in its early stages, is readily confused with psychosis and results in neurological or psychiatric symptoms after immunization.

According to a new study published in Current Medicinal Chemistry, there may be a connection between HPV vaccination and anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis.

An acute autoimmune disease known as anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis occurs when the body produces antibodies that target the brain's N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. A receptor for the amino acid glutamate is called NMDA. The most prevalent excitatory neurotransmitter secreted by brain nerve cells, glutamate is essential for memory format...
