Neurological Signal Fidelity

Meaning

The clinical measure of the accuracy, speed, and reliability of electrochemical signal transmission within the central and peripheral nervous systems. High fidelity ensures rapid, precise, and undistorted communication between neurons and their target cells, thereby supporting optimal cognitive function, refined motor control, and sensitive neuroendocrine regulation. Diminished fidelity is often clinically linked to age-related cognitive decline, impaired coordination, and slowed reaction time.
