Neuroendocrine Ethics

Meaning

Neuroendocrine Ethics is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines the moral, social, and policy implications arising from advancements in understanding and manipulating the neuroendocrine system, the critical interface between the nervous and hormonal systems. This field scrutinizes the responsible application of knowledge concerning hormones, neurotransmitters, and their interaction with human behavior, cognition, and well-being. It addresses complex issues such as the ethical use of neuroenhancement, the implications of hormonal manipulation on identity, and the equity of access to these advanced therapeutic tools.
