Neuro-Executive Performance

Meaning

Neuro-Executive Performance refers to the efficiency and integrity of the brain’s executive functions, which are the high-level cognitive processes necessary for complex, goal-directed behavior, including planning, working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. This performance is highly dependent on the optimal, balanced neuroendocrine environment, particularly the precise influence of sex steroids, thyroid hormones, and glucocorticoids on prefrontal cortex activity. Sustained, high-level performance in these domains is a key clinical indicator of cognitive healthspan and neurological resilience.
