Abstract

This Preface introduces the Special Issue entitled, "Energy Substrates and Microbiome Govern Brain Bioenergetics and Cognitive Function with Aging", which is comprised of manuscripts contributed by invited speakers and program/organizing committee members who participated in the 14th International Conference on Brain Energy Metabolism (ICBEM) held on October 24-27, 2022 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The conference covered the latest developments in research related to neuronal energetics, emerging roles for glycogen in higher brain functions, the impact of dietary intervention on aging, memory, and Alzheimer's disease, roles of the microbiome in gut-brain signaling, astrocyte-neuron interactions related to cognition and memory, novel roles for mitochondria and their metabolites, and metabolic neuroimaging in aging and neurodegeneration. The special issue contains 25 manuscripts on these topics plus three tributes to outstanding scientists who have made important contributions to brain energy metabolism and participated in numerous ICBEM conferences. In addition, two of the manuscripts describe important directions and the rationale for future research in many thematic areas covered by the conference.
