Neuroactive Steroids

Neuroactive steroids are molecules that act as neuromodulators within the brain and central nervous system, regulating the activity of neural cells such as neurons. They play an important role in many physiological and behavioral processes, including learning, memory, emotion and anxiety. Neuroactive steroids can also be used to treat a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including epilepsy, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Due to their wide range of effects on the brain and body, neuroactive steroids have become increasingly important for the study of neuroscience.
