Neuroscience Glossary
Neuroscience terminology is often oversimplified online. This glossary provides a more contextual and recovery-oriented framework for understanding cognition, stress physiology, emotional regulation, attentional systems, and sustainable neuroscience concepts.
Contextual Neurobiology
A framework recognizing that cognition and emotional experiences may emerge from interactions between biology, stress physiology, emotional regulation, environmental context, recovery systems, and human variability.
Recovery Continuity
The ongoing biological and psychological processes supporting nervous-system restoration, sleep stability, emotional regulation, and sustainable cognition over time.
Hyperarousal
A state of elevated nervous-system activation that may involve emotional intensity, attentional fragmentation, stress overload, sleep disruption, and reduced cognition stability.
Emotional Salience
The degree to which emotional stimuli capture attention, influence perception, and shape subjective experiences.
Attentional Continuity
The ability to maintain relatively stable attention without excessive fragmentation, emotional overload, or hyperstimulation.
Sustainable Cognition
A recovery-oriented approach emphasizing long-term cognition resilience, emotional stability, nervous-system balance, and realistic pacing rather than continual overstimulation.
