ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Neurosteroidogenesis inhibitor

Okay kiddo, so you know that our bodies have different parts, right? Like our brain that helps us think and our lungs that help us breathe. And these parts need different things to work properly.

Now, one important thing that helps our brain work properly are called neurosteroids. They are kind of like helpers for our brain cells. But sometimes, our body makes too much of these helpers and that can cause problems in our brain, like anxiety or seizures.

That's where the neurosteroidogenesis inhibitor comes in. It's like a medicine that helps slow down or stop the body from making too many of these helpers. So, it helps keep our brain healthy and prevent those problems I mentioned earlier.

So, think of it like putting a cap on a bottle of soda. If we don't put a cap on it, the soda starts overflowing and makes a mess. But if we put a cap on it, it stops the soda from overflowing and keeps things clean and tidy.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
