CHICAGO — The result of the Chicago Bears’ preseason opener matched the message head coach Ben Johnson gave his team: Preseason games don’t count, but they matter, he said. The Bears and Miami Dolphins finished in a 24-24 tie on a hot — on-field real feel temperature reached triple digits — Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. It was the Bears’ …

After the first preseason game, neither Kyle Allen nor Hendon Hooker looked like particularly intriguing options at quarterback. While Allen moved the ball a little better against the Los Angeles Chargers, his two interceptions were bad enough that it was hard to ignore.

Summary: New research has uncovered that neurons store their own glycogen, acting as “backup batteries” to keep the brain functioning during energy stress. Using worms and advanced biosensors, scientists found that neurons can tap into glycogen reserves, especially when oxygen or mitochondrial function is limited. This metabolic flexibility, termed “glycogen-dependent glycolytic plasticity,” shows neurons are more self-sufficient than previously believed. …
