Executive Function Metrics

Meaning

Executive Function Metrics are quantifiable assessments used to measure higher-order cognitive abilities managed primarily by the prefrontal cortex, including planning, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. These metrics provide objective data on an individual’s capacity for complex goal-directed behavior. In hormonal health, these measurements are vital as deficiencies in steroids or thyroid hormones often manifest as executive dysfunction. We use these scores to track neurocognitive restoration.
