Cognitive Trajectory Modification

Meaning

The intentional application of clinical, pharmacological, or lifestyle interventions designed to alter the predicted course of an individual’s cognitive performance over time, ideally shifting it toward a trajectory of sustained or improved function. This involves proactive management of known risk factors and the implementation of strategies to enhance neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve. The goal is to mitigate the expected age-related decline and maintain a high level of executive function and memory capacity.
