Neurosteroids: From Definition and Biochemistry to Physiopathologic Function

  • Chapter
Neurosteroids

Part of the book series: Contemporary Endocrinology ((COE,volume 16))

Abstract

The relationships between steroid hormones and brain function have mostly been envisioned within the framework of endocrine mechanisms as responses elicited by secretory products of steroidogenic endocrine glands, borne by the blood stream, and exerting actions on the brain.
