NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --A set of brain signals known to help memories form may also influence blood sugar levels, finds a new study in rats.

Key Points: 
  • NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --A set of brain signals known to help memories form may also influence blood sugar levels, finds a new study in rats.
  • Published online in Nature on Aug. 11, a new study found that clusters of hippocampal sharp wave ripples were reliably followed within minutes by decreases in blood sugar levels in the bodies of rats.
  • Known to keep blood sugar at normal levels, insulin is released by pancreatic cells, not continually, but periodically in bursts.
  • Future research may also reveal devices or therapies that can adjust ripples to lower blood sugar and improve memory, says Buzsaki.
