The intentional, systematic application of physiological and lifestyle interventions, often informed by biomarkers, to enhance higher-order cognitive processes such as planning, working memory, and cognitive flexibility.
Origin
This term merges “biohacking,” the practice of making changes to optimize biology, with “executive function,” a construct from cognitive neuroscience describing top-down control of thought and action.
Mechanism
Interventions frequently target neurotransmitter balance, mitochondrial health, and HPA axis regulation, aiming to improve prefrontal cortex efficiency and connectivity necessary for complex decision-making.
