neurobiological mechanisms

Neurobiological mechanisms refer to how the brain and nervous system work together to regulate thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. They involve neurons, or nerve cells, that communicate through electrical signals and chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These signals help process information, coordinate responses, and maintain balance within the system. For example, when you feel happy or stressed, specific neural circuits and chemicals are activated or suppressed. Overall, neurobiological mechanisms form the foundation of how we think, feel, learn, and respond to our environment.
