Hormesis Brain Training

Meaning

Hormesis Brain Training is a physiological strategy that involves exposing the central nervous system to mild, transient stressors to stimulate an adaptive, beneficial response that enhances resilience and function. This concept leverages the principle of hormesis, where a low dose of an otherwise harmful agent or stressor induces a protective effect. Applied interventions, such as controlled thermal exposure, intermittent fasting, or specific cognitive challenges, aim to improve neuronal stress resistance and bolster synaptic plasticity. The ultimate goal is to increase the brain’s capacity to withstand future, more significant physiological challenges and maintain cognitive reserve.
