New evidence on myelin as an energy source and store Reversible reduction in brain myelin content upon marathon running @upvehu @CICbiomaGUNE @CIBER_ISCIII @ciberned @biobizkaia @hospitalclinic nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

Reversible reduction in brain myelin content upon marathon running

Nature Metabolism - Using magnetic resonance imaging on marathon runners, Ramos-Cabrer, Cabrera-Zubizarreta et al. report that the signal detected as a surrogate of myelin content is significantly...

Can myelin help fuel the brain? 🧠 Meet us at #Neuroscience Day 2026, @upvehu Leioa, today 11:00–13:00 in Sede Building. We explore #myelin metabolism in exercise, aging & disease. Students and collaborators: see our poster and get in touch! @biobizkaia @CIBER_ISCIII

Does neurovascular coupling work differently in #whitematter? @TrendsEndoMetab I propose reserve-based NVC: sustained vascular support, glial metabolic buffering & local energy reserves complement functional hyperemia. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.tem.2026.0… #myelin

Investigadores españoles han estudiado a corredores de maratón utilizando resonancia magnética avanzada. Analizaron sus cerebros antes de la carrera y también entre uno y dos días después. Los resultados fueron sorprendentes: bit.ly/4uMf1rp

¿Qué ocurre en el cerebro cuando corremos una maratón?

Una maratón no solo agota músculos y pulmones. El cerebro también moviliza sus propias reservas de energía cuando corremos 42 kilómetros.

Myelin may serve as an energy reserve for the brain, according to recent studies. @MatuteC_ argues that these findings might mean that structure and metabolism should no longer sit in separate boxes. thetransmitter.org/metabolis…

Beyond glucose: The brain may feed itself

Myelin may serve as an energy reserve for the brain, and neuroscientists are rethinking how the brain stores, shares and protects energy.
