Mitochondrial Cerebral Function

Meaning

Mitochondrial Cerebral Function refers to the health and energetic output of the mitochondria within the brain’s neurons and glial cells, representing the fundamental capacity for cellular respiration and ATP production in the central nervous system. Optimal function is essential for supporting the brain’s immense energy requirements, which underpin all cognitive processes, neurotransmission, and cellular maintenance. Dysfunction in this area is a critical factor in neurodegenerative and cognitive decline pathologies.
