Cognitive Performance Signaling

Meaning

Cognitive performance signaling describes the intricate network of biochemical and electrophysiological communication pathways that regulate higher-order brain functions. This essential network includes the processes of attention, working memory, executive function, and neuroplasticity. The signaling involves a complex interplay of neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, and circulating hormones that modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic strength. Maintaining optimal cognitive signaling is essential for long-term brain health and functional longevity across the lifespan.
