Neurohormonal Plasticity

Meaning

Neurohormonal Plasticity refers to the remarkable capacity of the central nervous system and the endocrine system to structurally and functionally reorganize themselves in response to internal and external stimuli, including stress, exercise, and hormonal fluctuations. This dynamic adaptation involves changes in neuronal connections, receptor density, and the patterns of hormone secretion and response. Optimizing this plasticity is a clinical target for enhancing cognitive function, mood regulation, and stress resilience.
