Longevity Cognitive Reserve

Meaning

Longevity cognitive reserve is a concept referring to the brain’s capacity to maintain optimal cognitive function and resilience against age-related or pathological damage through the accumulation of robust neural networks and efficient processing strategies. It is the functional buffer that allows individuals to sustain high levels of memory, executive function, and processing speed well into advanced age, even in the presence of underlying neurological changes. Building this reserve is a critical goal of proactive brain health and anti-aging protocols. This reserve ultimately determines the functional lifespan and quality of life associated with the mind.
