Neurosteroid Function Restoration

Meaning

Neurosteroid Function Restoration is the clinical strategy focused on re-establishing the optimal synthesis, regulation, and activity of neurosteroids, which are steroid hormones synthesized de novo in the central and peripheral nervous systems. These specialized steroids, such as allopregnanolone and DHEA, are critical for modulating neuronal excitability, mood, sleep, and cognitive function, acting rapidly on neurotransmitter receptors like GABA. Restoration aims to correct age-related decline or stress-induced depletion of these crucial molecules to enhance neurocognitive health and emotional resilience. This targeted approach is vital for supporting the brain’s capacity for repair and adaptation.
