Information Processing

Meaning

Information Processing, in this physiological domain, describes the speed and accuracy with which the central nervous system, particularly the cortex, interprets sensory input, integrates it with memory, and generates an appropriate output or decision. This capacity is fundamentally reliant on efficient neurotransmitter function and adequate cellular energy metabolism within neuronal networks. Clear information processing reflects a well-supported neuroendocrine environment capable of rapid signal transduction. Suboptimal processing often manifests as cognitive fog or delayed reaction times.
