Neuro-Modulator Balance

Meaning

Neuro-Modulator Balance describes the homeostatic equilibrium among the various chemical messengers in the central and peripheral nervous systems that regulate brain function, mood, cognition, and sleep-wake cycles. These chemical signals, including neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and neuropeptides, must be maintained within a precise physiological range for optimal neurological and psychological health. Imbalance in this system can manifest as mood disorders, sleep disturbances, or cognitive impairment, often intricately linked to fluctuations in the endocrine environment. Achieving this balance is a primary goal of integrative neuroendocrinology.
