Aerobic Glycolysis in the Frontal Cortex Correlates with Memory
... Magistretti and Allaman, 2015). Aerobic glycolysis can be described as the reliance on glycolysis, even when oxygen is not rate-limiting, with the concomitant production of lactate as a by-product (Lunt and Vander Heiden, 2011). Emerging evidence suggests that lactate production and transport betwee ...
