Neural Connectivity Maintenance

Meaning

Neural Connectivity Maintenance is the ongoing physiological process of preserving the structural integrity and functional efficiency of the complex network of synaptic connections between neurons within the central nervous system. This maintenance is fundamental for sustaining all cognitive functions, including memory, processing speed, and executive function, and is a key target in neuro-longevity strategies. Hormones and neurotrophic factors play an indispensable role in promoting synaptic plasticity and preventing age-related structural degradation.
