Hippocampal Neuron Integrity

Meaning

Hippocampal Neuron Integrity refers to the structural soundness, functional efficiency, and overall health of the neurons within the hippocampus, a critical brain region for memory consolidation, spatial navigation, and emotional regulation. Maintaining this integrity is vital for preventing age-related cognitive decline, as the hippocampus is highly vulnerable to stress, inflammation, and hormonal deficiencies, particularly those of estrogen and testosterone. High integrity is marked by robust neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.
