Neuro-Vigilance

Meaning

Neuro-Vigilance is the state of heightened, sustained awareness and focus, reflecting the optimal operational readiness of the central nervous system and its associated neurochemical environment. In a clinical context, it describes the goal of maintaining sharp cognitive function, rapid processing speed, and emotional stability through balanced neurotransmitter and hormonal signaling. A decline in neuro-vigilance is often an early indicator of HPA axis dysregulation, chronic stress, or sub-optimal thyroid function. Restoring this state is critical for executive function and daily performance.
