Neuroreceptor Modulation

Meaning

Neuroreceptor Modulation is the process of altering the activity, density, or sensitivity of neurotransmitter receptors located on neuronal and non-neuronal cells within the nervous system. This manipulation, often achieved through endogenous hormones, pharmaceutical agents, or specific nutrients, directly influences synaptic transmission and overall brain function. The clinical goal is to fine-tune the neurochemical environment to correct imbalances in mood, cognition, sleep, and pain perception. Effective modulation is central to maintaining neurological stability and adaptive behavior.
