Description
7α-Hydroxypregnenolone is a neuroactive metabolite of pregnenolone. It acts as an important neuromodulator to increase locomotor activity.

Biological functions
Dopamine neurons are located in the medial brain region, specifically in the TA and posterior tuberal nucleus; they project to the rostral brain region including the striatum.7α-Hydroxypregnenolone increases the concentration of dopamine in the telencephalic region?including the striatum,which is known to be involved in the regulation of locomotor behavior in vertebrates. Thus, there is potential for the direct regulation of dopamine release by the action of 7α-hydroxypregnenolone synthesized in the TA. Acute stress increases the synthesis of 7α-hydroxypregnenolone through corticosterone action in newts.7α-Hydroxypregnenolone increases serotonin concentrations in the diencephalon including the DMH under stress.The pineal gland, an endocrine organ located close to the brain, is an important site of production of neurosteroids de novo from cholesterol in birds.7α-Hydroxypregnenolone is a major pineal neurosteroid that stimulates locomotor activity in juvenile chickens, connecting light-induced gene expression with locomotion.
