Abstract

The brain-gut neurocircuitry is proving to be finely involved in a wide range of physiological functions. In this issue of Neuron, Ren etal.1 show that adrenergic signaling suppresses postprandial glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion. This, in turn, raises circulating glucose levels and impairs brain glucose uptake and cognitive function.
