Neuronal Coordination of Nutrient-Associated Genes and Brain Development

Previous Science Note

This article focusing on how mammalian neurons coordinate the expression of a nutrient-associated gene with the regulation of neuronal activity to ensure proper brain development. We believe that these findings can offer valuable insights into human brain metabolism.

Large neutral amino acid levels tune perinatal neuronal excitability and survival

   Point of Interest
   - Metabolic reprogramming of the cerebral cortex throughout development

   - Essential role of large neutral amino acids in perinatal neuronal metabolic state

   - Link between Slc7a5 deletion in neurons, branched-chain amino acids, and lipid metabolism

   - Impact of reduced large neutral amino acid levels on neuronal excitability and survival
