Glycolysis Paradigm Shift Dictates a Reevaluation of Glucose and Oxygen Metabolic Rates of Activated Neural Tissue

In 1988 two seminal studies were published, both instigating controversy. One concluded that “the energy needs of activated neural tissue are minimal, being fulfilled via the glycolytic pathway alone,” a conclusion based on the observation that neural activation increased glucose consumption, which...
