Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is crucial for regulating neurotransmitter levels in the brain, as it breaks down monoamines like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. This process is vital for maintaining mood, emotional balance, and overall mental health. Dysregulation of MAO activity is linked to various psychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety, making it a key target for certain antidepressant medications. Thus, MAO plays a significant role in both neurochemistry and mental well-being.
