Therapeutic intervention aimed at re-establishing robust efferent signaling originating from the central nervous system to peripheral effectors, such as muscles or endocrine glands. Restoration implies correcting deficits in the central command structure necessary for initiating movement, autonomic regulation, or hormone release. This is particularly relevant when central nervous system integrity is compromised or when descending regulatory signals are inhibited. We focus on optimizing the originating signal strength.
Origin
The term neurogenic refers to signals originating in the nervous system, while drive speaks to the inherent impetus for action or function. Restoration is the clinical goal of bringing this initiating function back to an optimal level. It relates closely to motor control pathways and autonomic outflow.
Mechanism
Restoration often involves targeted modulation of neuronal excitability in the brainstem or spinal cord centers that govern downstream motor neurons or preganglionic autonomic fibers. This might be achieved through optimizing neurotransmitter profiles or supporting trophic support for vulnerable neural populations. By enhancing the quality and frequency of the initial neural impulse, the downstream physiological output is subsequently improved.
