Physical-Cognitive Interface

Meaning

Physical-Cognitive Interface is a crucial conceptual model representing the dynamic, bidirectional communication system linking the body’s overall physiological state, driven by physical activity and robust metabolic health, with the central nervous system’s capacity for high-level cognitive function. It acknowledges that physical and mental performance are not isolated, but rather deeply interdependent domains regulated by shared neuroendocrine, inflammatory, and vascular pathways. Optimizing this complex interface is absolutely key to maximizing both physical healthspan and cognitive healthspan simultaneously.
