Cellular Health and Cognition

Meaning

Cellular Health and Cognition describes the fundamental clinical relationship where the integrity and optimal function of individual neurons and glial cells directly underpin all aspects of mental performance, including memory, executive function, and processing speed. Robust cellular health in the brain is defined by efficient mitochondrial energy production, low levels of oxidative stress, and effective waste clearance mechanisms. Compromised cellular status, often seen in aging or metabolic dysfunction, is a direct contributor to cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration.
