The therapeutic process aimed at improving the capacity of the brain to accurately perceive, manipulate, and reason about spatial relationships between objects, as well as enhancing visual detail discrimination. This restoration addresses declines in a crucial component of cognitive function often affected by hormonal aging and neurodegenerative changes. Enhanced acuity is essential for complex navigation and object interaction.
Origin
This term is derived from cognitive neuroscience and ophthalmology, where visuospatial processing is a well-defined cognitive domain. The concept of ‘restoration’ applies it to clinical interventions seeking to reverse or mitigate age-related decline.
Mechanism
Restoration is facilitated by optimizing cerebral blood flow and enhancing the metabolic activity of the parietal and occipital lobes, the primary centers for visuospatial processing. Hormones, particularly estrogen and testosterone, are known to support neuronal connectivity and synaptic density in these regions, and their restoration can improve the efficiency of the underlying neural networks.
