Cognitive Function and Aging

Meaning

Cognitive Function and Aging describes the complex, interwoven relationship between the progressive, age-related changes in mental processes—including memory, attention, and executive function—and the underlying systemic physiological shifts that occur over the human lifespan. Within the specialty of endocrinology, this concept critically investigates the modulating role of declining or dysregulated hormonal profiles in maintaining neuronal health and optimal cognitive performance. Preserving sharp mental acuity is recognized as a cornerstone of successful and healthy longevity.
