Mitochondrial Optimization Cognition

Meaning

Mitochondrial Optimization Cognition describes the clinical strategy of enhancing the function and biogenesis of mitochondria within neuronal and glial cells to support superior cognitive performance and resilience against neurodegeneration. This approach recognizes that the brain is highly energy-dependent, and the efficiency of its cellular powerhouses is a rate-limiting factor for complex functions like memory formation, attention, and neural plasticity. Achieving this optimization is crucial for maintaining a high level of mental acuity with age.
