Brain Resource Management

Meaning

Brain Resource Management is a functional concept describing the brain’s efficient allocation and utilization of finite energetic and biochemical resources to support high-demand cognitive and physiological processes. This includes the optimized delivery and metabolism of glucose, oxygen, essential micronutrients, and neurotransmitter precursors across critical neural networks. Clinical evaluation of this function assesses the capacity for sustained mental effort, working memory, and executive function in the context of fluctuating energy demands and hormonal signaling. Effective resource management is paramount for preventing cognitive fatigue and maintaining neuroendocrine balance.
