Abstract

In their Perspective, P. J. Magistretti et al . ([1][1]) propose that 80 to 90% of total cortical glucose usage is attributable to the energy requirements of glutamatergic neurotransmission. They reason that the accumulation of neuronally derived glutamate by astrocytes and its conversion to
