How the Brain Powers Itself: Exploring the Science Behind Energy in the Brain and Cognitive Performance

The energy brain uses fuels not just essential survival functions but also the higher-order cognitive capabilities that define human intelligence—concentration, memory, emotional regulation, creativity, and reasoning. But what exactly powers this energy-hungry organ? How does the brain generate, manage, and deploy this energy with such precision? And how do nutrition, lifestyle, disease, and aging affect this delicate process?
