Ketogenic diet affects excitatory neurotransmission via synaptic vesicle pools

Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have published findings in Cell Reports regarding the neurological effects of the ketogenic diet. The study indicates that the diet dampens excitatory neurotransmission by shrinking synaptic vesicle pools.

This mechanism suggests a biological pathway through which the diet may influence brain activity and neurological signaling.
