Neuronal Signaling Efficiency

Meaning

Neuronal Signaling Efficiency quantifies the speed, fidelity, and metabolic cost with which neurons transmit information across synapses and throughout neural circuits. In the context of hormonal and cognitive health, high efficiency is crucial for rapid neuroendocrine response and sustained cognitive function, impacting everything from mood regulation to complex decision-making. Diminished efficiency, often due to demyelination or neurotransmitter depletion, contributes significantly to age-related cognitive decline and impaired HPA axis communication. Optimizing this efficiency is a primary goal for neuro-longevity protocols.
