Executive Function Sustainment

Meaning

Executive Function Sustainment is the critical clinical objective of preserving and actively enhancing the complex set of cognitive processes that govern goal-directed behavior, including working memory, flexible thinking, inhibitory control, and focused attention, particularly as individuals advance in age. This sustainment involves proactive physiological and biochemical support to ensure the prefrontal cortex remains optimally functional throughout the lifespan. It represents a core, measurable component of cognitive longevity and sustained high-level performance.
