MeSH definition : Endogenous compounds or drugs that affect neuronal excitability through modulation
of specific ionotropic receptors (e.g., GABA-A RECEPTORS). Endogenous neurosteroids
are steroid hormones de novo synthesized by neurons and glial cells from steroid metabolite
precursors (e.g., PREGNENOLONE).;
