Cognitive Architecture Maintenance

Meaning

Cognitive Architecture Maintenance refers to the continuous, energy-intensive biological processes necessary to sustain the structural and functional integrity of the brain’s neural networks that support complex thought, memory, and executive function. This maintenance involves robust synaptic plasticity, efficient neuronal metabolism, adequate blood flow, and the precise regulation of neurotransmitter systems, including the cholinergic and dopaminergic pathways. Successful maintenance is the physiological basis for sustained cognitive health and resilience against age-related decline.
