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.

The paper shows that cold temperature, not inactivity, reduces GABAergic signaling in bullfrog respiratory networks during overwintering.

This study shows that hibernating frogs reduce oxygen consumption for neural activity while maintaining normal function, revealing metabolic plasticity in vertebrate brain circuits.

This study identifies two anti-correlated GABA subpopulations in the MePD that mediate UCN3-mediated stress suppression of reproduction through mutual inhibition and downstream LH regulation.
