Cognitive Fatigue Recovery

Meaning

Cognitive Fatigue Recovery is the physiological and psychological process of restoring optimal executive function following a period of sustained, demanding mental exertion. This process involves the clearance of neurometabolic byproducts and the replenishment of neurotransmitter reserves depleted during high-load cognitive tasks. Effective recovery is essential for maintaining high-quality decision-making capacity and preventing chronic cognitive decline, which is often linked to hormonal dysregulation.
