So the hypothesis is that the reason cardio exercise every other day makes you smarter is because the astrocytes next to your neurons in your frontal cortex and hippocampus become 60% more capable of meeting needs to fuel your neurons with glycogen during periods of glycogen shortage, increasing the brains ability to keep glycogen levels at optimal levels at all times during the day.
I would like to see a study done seeing how 5 hour powers, caffeine, sugary treats, no-doz and other performance altering drugs affect this astrocyte supercompensation process.
