Memory Recall Hormones

Meaning

Memory Recall Hormones is a conceptual grouping of various neuroendocrine and systemic hormones that significantly influence the brain’s capacity to retrieve stored information, a process known as memory recall. Key hormonal players include sex steroids like estrogen and testosterone, glucocorticoids like cortisol, and thyroid hormones, all of which modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity in memory centers like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Optimizing the balance of these hormones is essential for maintaining sharp cognitive function throughout the lifespan.
