Brain Energy
Topic
Brain energy refers to the metabolic processes and substrates, primarily glucose and oxygen, that fuel the physiological and cognitive functions of the brain. Despite representing only about 2% of human body weight, the brain consumes approximately 20% of the body's energy budget to maintain cellular membranes and support neurotransmission. Disruptions in brain energy metabolism are increasingly linked to various neurological and psychiatric disorders.
