Age-Related Brain Volume Preservation

Meaning

Age-Related Brain Volume Preservation is the clinical and physiological objective of mitigating the natural, progressive atrophy of cerebral tissue that typically occurs with advancing age. Maintaining this structural integrity is intrinsically linked to sustained cognitive function and neurological resilience throughout the lifespan. Hormonal balance, particularly neurosteroid and thyroid hormone levels, plays a crucial role in supporting neuronal and glial cell integrity and function. Successful preservation aims to maintain volume specifically in regions like the hippocampus and cortex, which are essential for memory and executive function.
