Neural Survival

Meaning

Neural Survival is the critical biological process encompassing the maintenance, health, and sustained viability of neurons within the central and peripheral nervous systems. This process relies on a complex interplay of trophic factors, metabolic support, and protection against apoptotic and necrotic pathways. Optimal neural survival is essential for preserving cognitive function, motor control, and sensory perception throughout the aging process. The clinical objective is to mitigate age-related neuronal loss and maintain the integrity of neural circuits, which is a key determinant of overall neurological health.
