From the article:
Quote:
Unlike most other tissues that have multiple fuel sources, the brain depends on blood sugar for almost all its energy, Convit explained. The longer that glucose stays in the bloodstream instead of being metabolized into body tissues, the less fuel the brain has to store memories.

I was under the impression that the brain preferentially used ketone bodies for fuel?
