ResumenBackground: Aging is traditionally characterized by progressive structural and cognitive decline; however, increasing evidence shows that the aging brain retains a remarkable capacity for reorganization. This adaptive neuroplasticity supports cognitive resilience-defined as the ability to maintain efficient cognitive performance despite age-related neural vulnerability. Objective: To synthesize current molecular, cellular, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological neuromarkers that characterize adaptive neuroplasticity and to examine how these mechanisms contribute to cognitive resilience across aging. Methods: This narrative review integrates findings from molecular neuroscience, multimodal neuroimaging (fMRI, DTI, PET), electrophysiology (EEG, MEG, TMS), and behavioral research to outline multiscale biomarkers associated with compensatory and efficient neural reorganization in older adults. Results: Adaptive neuroplasticity emerges from the coordinated interaction of neurotrophic signaling (BDNF, CREB, IGF-1), glial modulation (astrocytic lactate metabolism, regulated microglial activity), synaptic remodeling, and neurovascular support (VEGF, nitric oxide). Multimodal neuromarkers-including preserved frontoparietal connectivity, DMN-FPCN coupling, synaptic density (SV2A-PET), theta-gamma coherence, and LTP-like excitability-consistently correlate with resilience in executive functions, memory, and processing speed. Behavioral enrichment, physical activity, and cognitive training further enhance these biomarkers, creating a bidirectional loop between experience and neural adaptability. Conclusions: Adaptive neuroplasticity represents a fundamental mechanism through which older adults maintain cognitive function despite biological aging. Integrating molecular, imaging, electrophysiological, and behavioral neuromarkers provides a comprehensive framework to identify resilience trajectories and to guide personalized interventions aimed at preserving cognition. Understanding these multilevel adaptive mechanisms reframes aging not as passive decline but as a dynamic continuum of biological compensation and cognitive preservation.es_ES
