faculties
Inherent mental abilities
Faculties are powers or capacities, especially mental ones.
A person's faculties include reason, memory, perception, and judgment: She retained all her faculties into her nineties.
The word often appears in contexts of aging or impairment: His faculties are declining.
A faculty is also a division of a university or its teaching staff: the faculty of medicine, a faculty meeting.
