Neural Transmission Efficiency

Meaning

Neural Transmission Efficiency quantifies how effectively electrochemical signals are propagated across synapses within the central and peripheral nervous systems, heavily influenced by neurosteroids and neurotransmitter precursor availability. Optimal efficiency ensures rapid, clear communication between the brain and endocrine glands, which is essential for timely hormonal release and feedback. We assess this as a marker of neural integrity, critical for cognitive function and stress response modulation. Low efficiency correlates with synaptic noise and impaired neuroendocrine axis communication.
