Reserve models can be categorized into two processes: (a) a passive process, which describes reserve in terms of the amount of damage an individual can sustain before reaching the threshold for clinical symptoms, and (b) an active process, which highlights the brain’s capacity for adaptation or compensation in the presence of neuropathology or injury.
