Brain Health Aging

Meaning

Brain Health Aging refers to the dynamic, longitudinal changes in cognitive function, neural structure, and neurochemical balance that occur over an individual’s lifespan. This encompasses the natural decline in neuroplasticity and executive function, as well as the resilience of the brain against neurodegenerative pathology. Maintaining optimal brain health throughout aging is inextricably linked to systemic hormonal homeostasis, particularly the stability of neurosteroids and thyroid hormones. Clinical interventions aim to preserve synaptic density and support efficient cerebral metabolism to ensure sustained cognitive vitality.
