Summary

Neuronal survival depends on precise metabolic control. The brain, despite comprising only about 2% of body weight, consumes approximately 20% of the body's resting metabolic energy, reflecting the extraordinary energy demands of neural signaling, maintenance, and homeostasis[@attwell2001].
