Neural Energy Sustenance

Meaning

Neural energy sustenance is the physiological process dedicated to maintaining a continuous, adequate, and stable supply of metabolic fuel, primarily glucose and ketones, to the central nervous system to support uninterrupted neuronal function. This sustenance is crucial for all cognitive processes, from basic sensory processing to complex executive function, and is particularly vulnerable to systemic metabolic dysfunction or hormonal imbalances. Optimized neural energy sustenance is a prerequisite for high cognitive performance and neuroprotection.
