Cognitive Energy Modulation

Meaning

Cognitive Energy Modulation is the deliberate clinical and physiological strategy of optimizing the energy substrate delivery and utilization within the brain to sustain high-level mental performance and prevent neuro-fatigue. This process involves regulating systemic metabolic factors, such as glucose stability and ketone body availability, alongside local cerebral energy dynamics, including mitochondrial efficiency and oxygen consumption in key cognitive centers. Effective modulation ensures a continuous, stable energy supply to neurons and glial cells, which are highly metabolically demanding, thereby enhancing focus, processing speed, and executive function throughout the day.
