UnverifiedBrain reserve refers to the physical capacity of the brain (such as neuron count and synaptic density), while cognitive reserve refers to the active capacity of the brain to compensate for damage by flexibly deploying neural networks.80% similarUnverifiedCognitive fatigue is a core concept in neuroscience and human factors engineering, referring to the temporary decline in executive function in brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex after prolonged engagement in high-cognitive-load tasks.77% similarVerifiedThe theory of "cognitive offloading" in psychology states that when external tools take over a cognitive task over the long term, the corresponding neural circuits in the brain weaken due to lack of activation.74% similarUnverifiedThe brain preferentially activates circuits that have been frequently used recently, causing effort-saving behaviors to continuously self-reinforce over time, which is referred to as the neural pathway of least resistance preference.74% similarUnverified人类工作记忆的维持依赖于前额叶皮层对信息的持续激活，注意力被打断后激活会迅速衰减73% similar
