Do Neurons Require Astrocyte-Derived Lactate for Energy? Astrocyte-Neuron Metabolic Coupling is Mediated by Calcium Waves and Sodium Current in the Tripartite Synapse: Therapeutic Implications for Some Brain Diseases Involving Metabolic Dysregulation

The most widely accepted model of brain glucose metabolism is the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS) hypothesis. However, in recent times, ANLS has met serious criticism as the model could not account for new data indicating that neurons may not require astrocyte-derived lactate for energy. Pro...
