Neurochemical Balance

Meaning

Neurochemical Balance refers to the optimal and stable concentration, synthesis, release, and receptor activity of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These chemical messengers, including dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and acetylcholine, are crucial for regulating mood, cognition, sleep, and overall neurological function. In the context of hormonal health, this balance is profoundly influenced by the endocrine system, with hormones acting as master regulators of neurotransmitter synthesis and receptor sensitivity.
