Pleased to share our latest preprint examining the impact of glucodynamic variability on cognition. Hamish Deery shows that it is not the size of the energy budget per se, but the dynamic use of glucose & its coherence into metabolic networks that are important for cognition. #neuroskyence
Brain glucodynamic variability is an essential feature of the metabolism-cognition relationship https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.30.651418v1
