Stress Resiliency Neurology

Meaning

Stress Resiliency Neurology refers to the study and clinical enhancement of the central nervous system’s capacity to effectively manage, adapt to, and rapidly recover from psychological and physiological stressors, minimizing allostatic load. This field focuses on optimizing the neural circuits and neurochemical systems that govern the stress response, particularly the interplay between the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, and the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The goal is to increase the biological ‘bandwidth’ for handling stress, protecting long-term cognitive and endocrine health. A resilient nervous system is a hallmark of sustained high performance and longevity.
