“…That may reduce cerebral blood flow due to hypocapnia and following cerebral vasoconstriction (Nelson et al, 2011), as well as dehydration (Trangmar et al, 2014), impair brain metabolism (Nybo, Møller, Volianitis, Nielsen, & Secher, 2002); and neurophysiological properties (Shibasaki, Namba, Oshiro, Crandall, & Nakata, 2016;Shibasaki, Namba, Oshiro, Kakigi, & Nakata, 2017;Yu, Hill, & McCormick, 2012). Restricted brain blood flow (Shibasaki et al, 2016(Shibasaki et al, , 2017 and body liquids loss greater than 2% (Gopinathan, Pichan, & Sharma, 1988) could reduce mental performance. Studies with functional imaging techniques demonstrate that during intense emotional states (for example stress) neural activity in some cognitive-processing areas could be suppressed (Drevets & Raichle, 1998).…”
