Brain Performance Metabolism

Meaning

This denotes the intricate biochemical processes within the central nervous system responsible for energy generation, substrate utilization, and waste clearance that collectively support optimal cognitive function. It specifically refers to the dynamic balance between glucose uptake, mitochondrial respiration, and the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in neurons and glial cells. A robust brain performance metabolism is the physiological foundation for mental clarity, rapid information processing, and sustained focus.
