Glial glucose fuels the neuronal pentose phosphate pathway for long-term memory
Summary: Brain function relies almost solely on glucose as an energy substrate. The main model of brain metabolism proposes that glucose is taken up and converted into lactate by astrocytes to fuel the energy-demanding neuronal activity underlying plasticity and memory. Whether direct neuronal gluco...
