Neurosteroids are steroids produced in the brain from cholesterol, acting locally on neuronal function and communication, crucial for brain health and mental well-being.
Electrical stimulation plays a significant role in neurosteroid synthesis, as techniques such as electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation impact the brain's neurosteroid production.
Allopregnanolone, a powerful neurosteroid, enhances GABA activity, calming overactive neurons, alleviating anxiety, and stabilizing mood, which is critical for addressing mood disorders.
Neurosteroids contribute to neural plasticity, helping the brain rewire itself, a vital process for recovery from stress and emotional disturbances.
