Spatial Cognitive Domain

Meaning

The Spatial Cognitive Domain refers to the specific set of neurocognitive functions responsible for perceiving, manipulating, and reasoning about objects and relationships in three-dimensional space. This domain includes abilities such as spatial working memory, navigation, mental rotation, and visual-spatial construction. In the context of hormonal health, these functions are notably sensitive to the balance of sex steroids, particularly estrogen and testosterone, which modulate neuronal plasticity and connectivity in relevant brain regions.
