„Brain fog”. Neurologii explică de ce canicula afectează concentrarea și deciziile

High summer temperatures can impair brain function, leading to symptoms of 'brain fog' such as concentration difficulties and irritability. Doctors explain that heat stress redirects brain resources, prioritizing thermoregulation over complex cognitive tasks. This results in slower information processing and increased irritability. Extreme temperatures may also affect the blood-brain barrier, promoting inflammation that disrupts neuron communication. To maintain cognitive functions, hydration and avoiding prolonged heat exposure are essential. Immediate cooling is advised at the first signs of confusion or sluggish thinking.
