Cognitive Throughput Degradation

Meaning

A measurable decline in the speed, efficiency, and capacity of the brain’s information processing abilities, encompassing reduced working memory, slower reaction times, and difficulty sustaining attention or executive function. This degradation is often linked to subtle neuroendocrine shifts, chronic inflammation, or vascular changes that compromise neuronal health and communication pathways. It represents a functional decline in the brain’s ability to process and act upon complex information.
