Neurotransmitter Circuit Tuning

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Circuit Tuning refers to the precise, dynamic adjustment of synaptic strength, neuronal excitability, and overall network rhythmicity by neuromodulatory systems to optimize the brain circuit for a specific cognitive or behavioral state. This tuning process ensures that the underlying neural hardware is operating at peak efficiency for tasks like focused attention, memory consolidation, or motor planning. Effective tuning is essential for cognitive flexibility and the seamless transition between different mental states.
