Neurotransmitter Fluctuation

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Fluctuation describes the dynamic, often rhythmic, changes in the concentration and activity of chemical messengers within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These fluctuations, involving molecules like serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate, are essential for regulating mood, cognition, sleep architecture, and stress response. Significant or erratic deviations from a healthy, balanced pattern are clinically associated with various neurobehavioral and psychological symptoms.
