AgeRelatedCognition

Meaning

Age-Related Cognition refers to the typical, non-pathological alterations in cognitive abilities that occur across the human lifespan, particularly noticeable in later decades. This physiological phenomenon often includes a subtle decline in processing speed, certain aspects of memory retrieval, and executive functions, while crystallized intelligence generally remains stable or improves. These changes are intricately linked to cumulative cellular senescence and shifts in neuroendocrine signaling, which impact synaptic integrity and neuronal network efficiency.
