brain cramp

When muscles contract involuntary, we call it a cramp. Given that cramps are usually caused by fatigue or strain, the involuntary reaction succeeds a, hopefully, voluntary action. A soccer player with cramps towards the end of a match isn’t unusual. Action, reaction.

What about the brain, though? If muscles cramp after submitting them to continued strain, maybe the brain could too?

After all, cramps cramp growth.
