Adenosine A Key Link between Metabolism and Brain Activity /

Homeostasis of key metabolites and metabolic health affects all bodily systems. Not surprisingly, altered metabolic function is associated with a wide spectrum of dysfunctions in the central nervous system  including developmental disorders, acute nervous system injury, and neurodegenerative disor...
