Molecular Basis Cognition

Meaning

Molecular Basis Cognition refers to the underlying biochemical and genetic processes within neurons and glial cells that facilitate all aspects of thought, memory, and learning. This includes the dynamics of gene expression, protein synthesis, post-translational modifications, and the specific signaling cascades that regulate synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, and mitochondrial function. Understanding this molecular foundation is essential for developing targeted interventions that address the root causes of age-related cognitive decline and support the brain’s intrinsic capacity for adaptation and repair.
