New insights into the energy balance of brain neurons A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders. The findings provide important foundations for understanding energy metabolism in cases of acute cerebral ischaemia, such as that which occurs during a stroke.
