Long-Term Cognition

Meaning

Long-Term Cognition refers to the sustained, durable capacity of the central nervous system to perform complex mental processes, including memory recall, executive function, and abstract reasoning, over an individual’s entire lifespan. This clinical measure extends beyond immediate performance to assess the resilience and structural integrity of neural networks against age-related decline and neurodegenerative processes. Optimal hormonal balance, particularly the appropriate levels of neurosteroids and thyroid hormones, is recognized as a fundamental substrate for preserving robust Long-Term Cognition. Maintaining this capacity is a primary goal of longevity-focused health protocols.
