Executive Cognitive Stamina

Meaning

Executive Cognitive Stamina refers to the sustained capacity of higher-order brain functions, including focused attention, working memory, and decision-making, under conditions of prolonged mental demand or stress. In the context of hormonal health, this stamina is closely tied to the stable regulation of the HPA axis and optimal thyroid and sex hormone levels. It is the measurable endurance of the prefrontal cortex to maintain complex executive tasks without fatigue or decline in accuracy. This capacity reflects integrated neuroendocrine function.
