Abstract

The term "neurosteroids" applies to those steroids that are synthesized in nervous system independent of supply by peripheral endocrine glands. The neurosteroids biosynthetic pathway, the mechanisms of neurosteroids in regulating neuronal activities and the neuromodulatory effects of neurosteroids, particularly the bimodal regulation of GABAA receptors, have been reported.
