Intellectual Endurance

Meaning

Intellectual Endurance is the measurable capacity of the central nervous system to sustain complex cognitive effort, including problem-solving, attention to detail, and executive decision-making, over prolonged periods without significant performance decrement. This metric is a clinical proxy for neuro-metabolic efficiency and the resilience of neuronal networks to fatigue. It is a critical component of longevity, as preserved Intellectual Endurance correlates strongly with biological age and quality of life.
