Molecular Governance of Focus

Meaning

The intricate system of neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, and steroid hormones that regulate the neural circuitry responsible for sustained attention, working memory, and executive control. This governance represents the biochemical infrastructure that determines an individual’s capacity to select relevant stimuli and suppress irrelevant information. Optimal governance relies on the synchronized activity of multiple signaling pathways, particularly those modulated by the neuroendocrine system. Dysregulation often manifests as distractibility or cognitive fatigue.
