These [[neurosteroids]] exert inhibitory actions on neurotransmission. They act as positive allosteric modulators of the [[GABAA receptor]] (especially δ subunit-containing isoforms), and possess, in no particular order, antidepressant, anxiolytic, stress-reducing, rewarding, prosocial, antiaggressive, prosexual, sedative, pro-sleep, cognitive and memory-impairing, analgesic, anesthetic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, and neurogenic effects.
