Neurotransmitter imbalance refers to the disproportionate levels of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers in the brain, potentially leading to various mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Understanding and addressing these imbalances can be crucial for developing effective treatment strategies for these conditions.
Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain, a phenomenon that occurs throughout life and is crucial for learning, memory, and brain repair. This process is primarily observed in the hippocampus, and its regulation is influenced by factors such as exercise, stress, and environmental enrichment.
