Neurons are hungry for energy, and carry their own batteries. Excited to share our latest study, on the use of glycogen by neurons as a "capacitor" to support glycolytic plasticity. You can find the article here:

Neurons use built-in ‘backup batteries’ that fuel the brain under stress
A new Yale study reveals that neurons store their own sugar reserves that kick in to keep the brain functioning during metabolic stress.
