Cellular Adaptation Cognitive Resilience

Meaning

This term describes the intrinsic capacity of neuronal and glial cells to modify their structure and function in response to endogenous and exogenous stressors, thereby maintaining cognitive performance. It signifies the brain’s biological flexibility to resist the deleterious effects of aging, injury, or chronic hormonal imbalance. High cellular adaptation translates directly into greater cognitive resilience, allowing for sustained executive function and memory despite physiological challenges. This adaptive plasticity is a key metric in assessing neuro-longevity potential.
