Brain Fog and Neurovascular Coupling Disorder

  Mental fatigue after a TBI often develops due to disturbances in the way brain cells receive the resources they need to function. This mechanism, called neurovascular coupling (NVC), involves a network of blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients to specific areas of the brain as needed.

Inevitably, as the brain continues to work harder, brain fog can make you tired easily, just like overworked muscles become fatigued. One area that can lead to mental fatigue if it's dysfunctional is the basal ganglia, which coordinates which areas of the brain are responsible for which tasks.
