QuestionTanya,
Thank you for the interesting read at brainfuels.com and infotonic.net. Do you have any of your findings published?
Thanx
AnswerDear Phil,
Thank you for your kind word. One recent article concerning effects of ketone bodies on most important electric parameters of brain cells is:
1. GABA action in immature neocortical neurons directly depends on the availability of ketone bodies. Rheims S, Holmgren CD, Chazal G, Mulder J, Harkany T, Zilberter T, Zilberter Y. Journal of Neurochem. 2009 Aug;110(4):1330-8. Epub 2009 Jun 22. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19558450)
Since it's quite a technical article, you might want to read what it's all about here:

2. Neuronal activity in vitro and the in vivo reality: the role of energy homeostasis. Zilberter Y, Zilberter T, Bregestovski P. Trends Pharmacol Sci. 2010 Sep;31(9):394-401
