Transforming neural activity to operate without glucose metabolism using brain-derived ketone bodies

Hafsa Yaseen, Karissa Cisneros, Rebecca Wright, Nikolaus Bueschke, Joseph M. Santin

This paper shows frogs can sustain neural activity without glucose metabolism by using brain-derived ketone bodies during hibernation, challenging the idea that glucose is essential for brain function.

Excitatory GABAergic signalling is associated with acquired benzodiazepine resistance in status epilepticus

Richard Joseph Burman, Joshua S Selfe, John Hamin Lee, Maurits M. van den Berg, Alexandru Calin, Neela Krushna Codadu, Rebecca Wright, Sarah E. Newey, R. Ryley Parrish, Arieh Anthony Katz, Jo M. Wilmshurst, Colin J. Akerman, Andrew J. Trevelyan, Joseph V. Raimondo

The paper investigates the cellular mechanisms of benzodiazepine resistance in status epilepticus, finding that persistent high intraneuronal chloride levels contribute to reduced GABAA receptor function and enhanced epileptiform activity.
