Abstract

Memory consolidation requires rapid energy supply to neurons. In a recent study, Francés et al revealed the signal by which a neuron commands glia to limit fatty acid synthesis in favor of metabolite export during memory formation in Drosophila melanogaster. This mechanism coordinates just-in-time glial energy delivery in response to dynamic neuronal needs.
