Hippocampal Volume Preservation

Meaning

Hippocampal Volume Preservation is the clinical objective of maintaining the structural integrity and measurable volume of the hippocampus, a brain structure essential for declarative memory formation and spatial navigation. Atrophy in this region is a recognized biomarker for chronic stress, aging, and neurodegenerative processes, often linked to hormonal dysregulation. Successful preservation indicates a functional neuroendocrine environment that supports neuronal survival and synaptic health. This objective is central to long-term cognitive wellness strategies.
