Preface: Special issue: 14th International Conference on Brain Energy Metabolism: Energy substrates and microbiome govern brain bioenergetics and cognitive function with aging

This special issue, entitled “Energetics and cognition in aging brain: Impact of substrates and microbiome”, contains manuscripts from attendees at the 14th International Conference on Brain Energy Metabolism (ICBEM) held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, October 24–27, 2022. Major topics include neuronal and mitochondrial en ergetics, higher brain functions involving astrocyte-neuron interactions, unique roles for glycogen, glycolytic upregulation during activation, determination of metabolite levels with genetically-encoded biosensors, dietary intervention in aging, gut-brain signaling, spreading depolarization and fun ctional brain imaging in aging, brain injury, and neurodegeneration. Two manuscripts provide roadmaps for future research. AbstractThis Preface introduces the Special Issue entitled, “Energy Substrates and Microbiome Govern Brain Bioenergetics and Cognitive Function with Aging”, which is comprised of manuscripts contributed by invited speakers and program/organizing committee members who participated in the 14th International Conference on Brain Energy Metabolism (ICBEM) hel d on October 24–27, 2022 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The conference covered the latest developments in research related to neuronal energetics, emerging roles for glycogen in higher brain functions, the impact of dietary intervention on aging, memory, and Alzheimer's disease, roles of the microb iome in gut-brain signaling, astrocyte-neuron interactions related to cognition and ...
