Cognitive Performance Hormones

Meaning

Cognitive Performance Hormones encompass the endogenous signaling molecules that directly influence neurogenesis, synaptic function, and overall brain efficiency. Key examples include DHEA, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol, whose levels must remain within optimal physiological windows for peak mental output. Deficits in these areas correlate directly with measurable declines in executive function and processing speed. We assess these relationships clinically to guide interventions.
