Prefrontal Vulnerability Mitigation

Meaning

Prefrontal Vulnerability Mitigation is the clinical and behavioral strategy aimed at reducing the susceptibility of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to stress-induced impairment, cognitive overload, and age-related functional decline. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions like planning, decision-making, and working memory, is particularly sensitive to elevated cortisol and chronic sleep deprivation. Mitigation efforts focus on preserving the structural and functional integrity of this crucial brain region.
