Neuronal activity in vitro and the in vivo reality
In the brain, neuronal electrical activity and intricate metabolic energy provisions are closely related. Although both functions have been painstakingly researched by electrophysiologists and biochem

Studies of GABA action: in vivo, in toto, and in vitro
On discrepancies of data from experiments on brain slices, in toto, and in vivo Let's start with the fundamental differences between environments depending on the types of experiments. (See Commenta

On the theory of excitatory GABA
As described in the post "On the mechanisms of brain protection by ketones", GABA, the principal brain chemical, normally acts to prevent hyperactivity in the neuronal networks. However, in the imma

Not only ketone bodies: on neuroprotective effects of energy substrates
In the previous post On the mechanisms of brain protection by ketones, I described how a shortage of ketones caused pathological changes in brain cells in brain slices (in vitro, 1) and in whole ani
