Synaptic Health

Meaning

The optimal functional and structural integrity of synapses, which are the specialized junctions between neurons that facilitate chemical or electrical signal transmission throughout the nervous system. This state encompasses efficient neurotransmitter release, appropriate receptor density and sensitivity, and adequate structural plasticity to support learning and memory. Maintaining synaptic health is paramount for cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall neurological resilience across the lifespan.
