Fluorescent light micrograph showing changes in ATP levels across neurons over time. Scientists found that intense communication of neurons, linked to learning and memory, plummeted the energy levels at boutons (small swellings found at the end of axons). This reduction caused a series of chemical reactions that lead to mitochondria being recruited to the boutons to fuel this intense communication. | |
