Neurotransmitter Regulation via Hormones

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Regulation via Hormones describes the critical, pervasive influence of the endocrine system on the synthesis, release, catabolism, and receptor sensitivity of key neurotransmitters within the central and peripheral nervous systems. Hormones act as master modulators, ensuring that the chemical signaling pathways responsible for mood, cognition, and behavior are appropriately tuned to the body’s physiological state. This regulation is a cornerstone of the neuroendocrine integration that governs psychological well-being.
