Abstract

Brain metabolism is in itself a broad topic. Metabolism as a concept is an approach to understand the behavior of biological systems. It comprises the transient and steady-state chemical reactions and cellular machinery necessary to maintain homeostasis and dynamically respond to changing physiological environment on cellular, tissue, and organism levels. These processes permit basic cellular functions and have important consequences for pathological processes. Disorders in multiple enzymatic steps affect normal brain function and development. Manifestation of metabolic disorders in the brain is primarily due to the relatively high and constant metabolic demands. Brain metabolism is complex not only on a cellular level but also on a tissue level, with complex metabolic interactions between neurons and glia, and metabolic differences in based on brain anatomy.
