Neural Throughput

Meaning

Neural Throughput quantifies the efficiency and speed with which the central and peripheral nervous systems process sensory information, integrate cognitive data, and execute motor or endocrine responses. It is a critical metric for cognitive health, representing the overall bandwidth and clarity of neural communication. This physiological capacity is highly sensitive to the modulatory effects of circulating hormones, with deficiencies in thyroid hormone or chronic exposure to high cortisol significantly degrading processing speed and overall function.
