Neurotransmitters and neurosteroids are compounds that regulate the functions of the brain. The neurotransmitters dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) play a role in several psychological conditions, including schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. DA also has an important role in Parkinson s disease. Neurosteroids are involved in neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer s disease and multiple sclerosis, the levels of neurosteroids are decreased in certain areas of the brain. Neurosteroids differ from classical neurotransmitters in that they are lipid-soluble and can easily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Neurotransmission can be studied in vivo by microdialysis, and as the concentrations of neurotransmitters in the microdialysates are...
