This paper discussed the physiological, psychological and brain mechanisms of egodepletion. Physiological mechanism of egodepletion was mainly discussed from the view of blood glucose. Four psychological mechanism of egodepletion were motivation level, time perception, implicit belief and interpretation level. Based on ERN index and the activation of vmPFC, DLPFC and other brain regions, we can reveal brain mechanism of egodepletion. Future research needs to explore two problems in physiological mechanism, firstly, whether the blood glucose can be used as the energy of selfcontrol; secondly, what is the mechanism for promoting selfcontrol through glucose? In terms of psychological mechanism, firstly, it should be further clarified which mechanisms are the general reasons for egodepletion; secondly, the unique mechanisms in different fields of egodepletion should be analyzed. In terms of brain mechanism, firstly, whether different types of selfcontrol tasks activate the same brain regions; secondly, whether the relationship between brain activation index and egodepletion can be quantified. Finally, the interaction of physiological, psychological and brain mechanisms of egodepletion is also worth studying.
