Chemical Signaling Regulation

Meaning

Chemical Signaling Regulation is the precise, dynamic control of all intercellular communication mediated by neurohormones, classic neurotransmitters, and neuropeptides throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. This intricate regulatory process is essential for ensuring that all physiological responses, including those governing mood, complex cognition, and metabolic homeostasis, are appropriately timed, scaled, and terminated. Dysregulation within this sophisticated signaling network is a core component and clinical manifestation of numerous endocrinological and neurological disorders.
