Neurobiology of Androgens

Meaning

Neurobiology of Androgens is the specialized field that investigates the pervasive influence of androgens, particularly testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), on the structure, function, and behavior of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This discipline explores how these steroid hormones affect mood, cognition, aggression, libido, and the development of neural circuits throughout the lifespan. Understanding this neurobiological impact is essential for comprehensive hormonal health management, especially in addressing symptoms beyond the traditional reproductive sphere.
