Age-Related Cognitive Entropy

Meaning

Age-Related Cognitive Entropy describes the progressive increase in informational disorder or reduced predictability within the brain’s functional networks as an individual ages. Clinically, this manifests as less reliable memory recall and slower executive processing speeds. We observe this shift as the endocrine milieu supporting neural organization becomes less precise over time. Understanding this trend allows for targeted interventions to restore functional coherence. This concept helps frame age-related cognitive slowing not as failure, but as a measurable decline in systemic order.
