Cognitive Immortality

Meaning

Cognitive immortality, within a longevity and wellness context, refers to the sustained, optimal function of the neural architecture and cognitive processes throughout the extended human lifespan, essentially preventing the functional decline associated with neurodegenerative aging. It is not literal biological immortality but rather the maintenance of high-level executive function, memory, and neuroplasticity. Achieving this state involves protecting the intricate neuro-endocrine communication pathways and ensuring adequate cerebral blood flow and nutrient delivery. The pursuit of cognitive longevity focuses on mitigating the accumulation of cellular senescence and oxidative stress within the central nervous system.
