"Ketones Boost Brain Function and Protect Neural Networks, Study Finds"

Researchers at the University of Rochester's Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience have discovered that ketones can rescue impaired neuronal functions in the hippocampus caused by acute insulin resistance, potentially offering new therapeutic avenues for conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. The study, published in PNAS Nexus, highlights the role of ketones in enhancing synaptic activity, axonal conduction, and network synchronization, suggesting their potential in preventing or delaying neurodegenerative diseases.
