Scientists explain why neurons consume so much energy even when at rest
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Washington [US], December 6 (ANI): Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have recently found why the brain consumes vastly more energy than other organs, and, puzzlingly, it remains a fuel-guzzler even when its neurons are not firing signals called neurotransmitters to each other.
