Neurotransmitter Decline

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Decline refers to the age-related or pathological reduction in the synthesis, release, or functional efficacy of key signaling molecules in the nervous system, such as serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine. This progressive decrease in chemical communication across synapses is often associated with a range of clinical symptoms, including mood disturbances, cognitive impairment, sleep cycle disruption, and diminished stress resilience. Addressing neurotransmitter decline is a central focus in optimizing neurological and psychological health, recognizing the profound link between brain chemistry and overall well-being. It is a critical factor in understanding the neuroendocrine interface.
