Neuroregulatory Signals

Meaning

Neuroregulatory Signals are the chemical, electrical, and molecular messages transmitted within the nervous system that govern the activity, communication, and functional state of neurons and other neural cells. These signals encompass neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, neurotrophic factors, and the action potentials that collectively coordinate all aspects of physiological function, from mood and cognition to motor control and endocrine release. The integrity and balance of these signals are paramount for mental health and systemic homeostasis. Dysregulation in these signaling pathways is a hallmark of many neurological and psychiatric disorders.
