Synaptic Structural Integrity

Meaning

Synaptic Structural Integrity refers to the physical and biochemical health of the synapses, the specialized junctions between neurons that facilitate neurotransmission and communication. Maintaining this integrity is paramount for supporting all cognitive functions, including learning, memory, and information processing. A compromise in integrity, often seen with neuroinflammation or hormonal decline, leads to synaptic loss and functional impairment. It is the anatomical and functional basis of a resilient, plastic nervous system.
