Neural Complexity Maintenance

Meaning

Neural Complexity Maintenance is the vital process of preserving the intricate, highly interconnected structure and functional diversity of the brain’s neural networks throughout the entire lifespan. This essential maintenance involves sustaining high synaptic density, promoting robust neuroplasticity, and preventing the progressive loss of information processing capacity. It is a core determinant of cognitive reserve and is profoundly influenced by the integrity and balance of the neuroendocrine system. The goal is to ensure the brain remains adaptable and efficient under all conditions.
