I agree with what you wrote, but additionally, one can get glucose deprivation by just starving, for example. I can't imagine a way to deprive just the brain of glucose. In effect, sustained physical activity should also lead to "depriving the brain of glucose".
- GordonS 5y agoMaybe it depends how long you starve for? As long as you have the fat reserves, it's possible to fast for weeks with nothing more than water. As long as you have a functioning liver, your body uses glycogenesis to create enough glucose for your brain to function.
- GordonS 5y agoToo late to edit now, but I forgot to say that even before glycogenesis, there are stores of glycogen in your muscles that can be used.
