Fat fuels our brains in new AIBN discovery – Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology

New research from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) has revealed that neurons in the brain use fats for energy, challenging decades of scientific thinking and opening the door to new treatments for neurological disease. For years, scientists believed that healthy neurons, the brain’s communication cells, relied solely on glucose and its metabolites to power their activity. But …
