Neurocognitive Vitality

Meaning

Neurocognitive vitality is a clinical concept that represents the optimal, robust state of brain function characterized by high levels of cognitive performance, emotional resilience, and sustained mental energy throughout the lifespan. It encompasses the efficient integration of executive functions, memory capacity, processing speed, and emotional regulation, signifying a healthy, well-preserved central nervous system. This state is intimately linked to hormonal balance, as neurosteroids and thyroid hormones are critical for neuronal health and synaptic function. Promoting this vitality is a primary goal in longevity and preventive medicine.
