Neurotransmitter Activity Balance

Meaning

The optimal homeostatic state characterized by the precise synthesis, release, receptor binding, and reuptake of key neurotransmitters within the central and peripheral nervous systems. This balance is essential for regulating mood, cognition, sleep, and the overall communication between the brain and the endocrine system. Imbalances, such as relative deficiencies or excesses of compounds like serotonin, dopamine, or GABA, are frequently implicated in psychological and physiological dysregulation.
