Neurotransmitters: important roles in health and disease
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the nervous system responsible for transmitting information between neurons. The human body needs to maintain a balance of neurotransmitters to ensure good health. When the balance of these substances is disrupted, the brain and body may be over- or under-stimulated, leading to a range of neurological or psychological problems.
Neurotransmitters linked to mood disorders
The development of mood disorders often involves multiple neurotransmitters, and how they are balanced in the brain-gut axis and interact with systemic hormonal systems is critical. When neurotransmitter signals are properly balanced, the body is able to maintain a stable state; but if brain and peripheral neurochemistry become imbalanced, the body has difficulty reestablishing physiological integrity, which can lead to mental health issues.
Some studies have shown that excess or deficiency of certain neurotransmitters in the brain and peripheral nerves are closely related to various neurobiological disorders such as depression and anxiety. Measuring these imbalances can provide targeted intervention tools to address excess or deficient neurotransmitters in individuals.
Application of drug and nutritional intervention in the regulation of neurotransmitters
Medical literature has confirmed that the concentration of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft of neurons is closely related to many mental and neurological diseases (such as depression, insomnia, anxiety, behavioral disorders, memory disorders, etc.). The function of the nervous system can be altered through medications or nutritional supplements. Drug therapy can affect nerve conduction and recycling, while nutritional neuromodulation uses nutrients and natural extracts to affect the synthesis and signaling of neurotransmitters, such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals. These methods have a positive effect on emotional balance. effects and can be used as one of the strategies to treat neurological, mental health and related diseases.
The synergistic effect of brain and neurotransmitters
The brain plays a key role in coordinating interactions between the body and mind. Neurons provide a platform for the brain to transmit information by releasing neurotransmitters. Whether it is sensory input, feeling, hearing, smelling, touching or eating, it triggers a rapid reaction in the nervous system. In the central and peripheral nervous systems, neurotransmitters serve as chemical messengers, transmitting signals through electrochemical impulses and receiving feedback, regulating physiological functions such as cognition, memory, mood, breathing, heart rate, digestion, metabolism, blood flow, and stress. When neurotransmitters are released from peripheral organs, they can also act as hormones that circulate through the bloodstream to influence distant organs and tissues. These synergistic effects are vital to maintaining overall health.
