Cognitive Preserving Effect

Meaning

The Cognitive Preserving Effect describes the biological action or clinical outcome of maintaining, protecting, or improving mental functions, such as memory, executive function, and processing speed, particularly in the face of aging or neurological challenge. This beneficial effect is a central focus in longevity and hormonal health, as cognitive decline significantly impacts quality of life. Various hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle interventions are studied for their potential to confer this neuroprotective benefit. Achieving a sustained cognitive reserve is the ultimate aim of these preventative strategies.
