Endocrine System Cognitive Performance

Meaning

Endocrine System Cognitive Performance describes the direct and indirect influence of the body’s hormonal network on the efficiency and quality of brain function, including domains such as memory, attention, executive function, and mood regulation. Optimal cognitive performance is highly dependent on the precise balance and signaling strength of key hormones, including thyroid hormones, cortisol, and sex steroids like estrogen and testosterone. Dysregulation within this system often presents clinically as cognitive fog or impaired neural processing speed.
