Cognitive Function Biomarker Tracking

Meaning

Cognitive function biomarker tracking is the systematic clinical monitoring of measurable biochemical indicators in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or other tissues that correlate directly with the structural integrity, neurochemical balance, and overall performance of the brain. This tracking moves beyond subjective or simple cognitive assessments to provide objective, quantifiable data on neuroendocrine status and neuronal health. Relevant biomarkers often include neurotrophic factors, inflammatory cytokines, and specific metabolic byproducts linked to efficient brain energy utilization. It offers a proactive and measurable approach to identifying and correcting subtle subclinical deficits that could eventually compromise cognitive reserve and executive function.
