Using functional connectivity changes associated with cognitive fatigue to delineate a fatigue network

Abstract Cognitive fatigue, or fatigue related to mental work, is a common experience. A growing body of work using functional neuroimaging has identified several regions that appear to be related to cognitive fatigue and that potentially comprise a “fatigue network”. These include the striatum of t...
