Cognitive System Recalibration

Meaning

Cognitive System Recalibration refers to the dynamic, homeostatic process by which the brain’s complex neural networks adjust their functional parameters, including synaptic strength and neurotransmitter receptor sensitivity, to maintain optimal cognitive performance and emotional stability. This adaptive mechanism allows the individual to effectively process new information, filter distractions, and regulate affective responses following periods of intense cognitive load or stress. Effective recalibration is fundamentally linked to restorative physiological states, such as deep sleep and parasympathetic dominance.
