How Energy Metabolism Supports Cerebral Function: Insights from 13C Magnetic Resonance Studies In vivo
Cerebral function is associated with exceptionally high metabolic activity, and requires continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients from the blood stream. Since the mid-twentieth century the idea that brain energy metabolism is coupled to neuronal activity has emerged, and a number of studies support...
