Nervous System Recovery

Meaning

Nervous system recovery is the essential physiological process by which the central and autonomic nervous systems actively restore their functional capacity and re-establish critical homeostatic balance following periods of high cognitive, emotional, or physical stress. This vital process involves the necessary replenishment of depleted neurotransmitter stores, the crucial downregulation of sympathetic nervous system activity, and the robust promotion of restorative parasympathetic tone. Adequate, high-quality recovery is absolutely critical for maintaining peak cognitive function, emotional stability, and the long-term integrity of the HPA axis.
