Serum levels of prolactin (PRL) spike during orgasm and for about 60 min after experiencing orgasm (through intercourse of masturbation.

PRL stimulates processes such as neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and remyelination

Myelin is an insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells. If myelin is damaged, these impulses slow down.

Is post-nut clarity caused by increased activity of prolactin?
To me, it sounds rather unlikely, because elevation of serum levels of prolactin is a bit too short to kickstart a repair of myelin and this process takes comparably much longer (sometimes even two weeks) than time a post-nut clarity appears.

So the question "What factors are responsible for occurence of post-nut clarity?" remains unanswered.
