Neuro-Regulatory Effects

Meaning

Neuro-regulatory effects describe the broad spectrum of influences that chemical messengers, particularly hormones, neuropeptides, and neurotransmitters, exert on the function, structure, and plasticity of the nervous system. These effects encompass the modulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic strength, gene expression in glial cells, and the overall coordination of central and peripheral nervous system activity. Understanding these effects is essential for comprehensive hormonal health, as the endocrine and nervous systems are inextricably linked.
