Such a mechanism could affect either the translation of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins, protein import into mitochondria, processing into functional complexes and/or the activation and turnover of these proteins.

Activation of the mesial frontal cortex has been proposed to represent emotional drive related to attention, language and memory; this mechanism could affect both tasks unspecifically [ 47].
