Neural Fog

Meaning

Neural Fog, or “brain fog,” is a non-medical, lay term used to describe a cluster of subjective cognitive symptoms characterized by mental confusion, difficulty concentrating, impaired executive function, and a general lack of mental clarity. Clinically, it often reflects underlying systemic issues, such as hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, or neuroendocrine stress. It is a common complaint in conditions like age-related hormone decline and chronic fatigue, signifying a suboptimal state of central nervous system function. Addressing the root cause is essential for cognitive vitality.
