Brain Biochemistry

Meaning

Brain biochemistry refers to the complex interplay of chemical compounds and processes occurring within the brain that regulate its function, structure, and communication. This domain includes the synthesis, release, and breakdown of neurotransmitters, hormones, and other signaling molecules, all essential for neuronal activity, cognitive processes, and emotional states. These reactions underpin thought, feeling, and action, forming the basis for mental and physiological regulation.
