Definition
A speculative or emerging topic of scientific research investigating the correlation between elevated levels of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and the neurodegenerative processes associated with Alzheimer's disease.
A colloquial or shorthand reference used primarily in medical blog circles or tech-speculation forums concerning how air quality, ventilation, and oxygen-carbon dioxide homeostasis might impact cognitive longevity.
Examples
