Alertness Neuromodulators

Meaning

Alertness neuromodulators are a class of endogenous chemical messengers that critically influence the brain’s state of arousal, vigilance, and readiness to respond to environmental stimuli. These substances modulate the activity of neural circuits responsible for maintaining wakefulness and sustained attention throughout the day. Clinically, their balanced function is paramount for optimal cognitive performance and mitigating the physiological onset of fatigue.
