Sulfated and unsulfated neurosteroids such as pregnenolone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), pregnanolone, and allopregnanolone, modulate ionotropic amino acid neurotransmitter receptors, and may function as endogenous neuromodulators. The gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor exhibits both negative and positive modulation by
