Preventive Neurology

Meaning

Preventive Neurology is a specialized clinical discipline focused on identifying, mitigating, and reversing the modifiable risk factors that contribute to age-related neurological and cognitive decline. This field moves beyond the traditional reactive treatment of established neurological disease to proactively implement lifestyle, nutritional, and hormonal interventions to preserve brain structure and function. It integrates principles from neuroendocrinology, vascular health, and genetics to construct personalized strategies for maximizing neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve throughout the lifespan. The ultimate goal is to extend the period of robust neurological health.
