Neurological and Cognitive Health
Here’s How to Make the Nervous System More Flexible and Functional.
Practical ways to promote neural plasticity, modulation, integration, coordination, and regulation to lower the risks of neurological disorders.
Creating a flexible, functional, healthy nervous system is vital for optimal brain function, cognitive health, neural fitness, and well-being. The nervous system comprises the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, coordinating bodily functions like movement, sensation, and cognition.
Managing the nervous system involves adopting and executing lifestyle changes that promote neural plasticity, modulation, integration, coordination, and regulation processes, which I explain in this article.
I previously wrote about muscles, fats, and bones. Another critical structure is the network of nerves and neurons, enabling communication among the physical components. Nerves and neurons are closely related but distinct constructs in the nervous system.
In summary, neurons are unique cells with dendrites and axons that transmit and process information. However, nerves are piles of axons with connective tissues, blood vessels, and support cells that transmit…
