Impact of ketosis on neuronal activity: a characterization of the functional role of ketone bodies using non‐invasive encephalography in humans

The ketogenic diet enhances neuronal aperiodic 1/f activity by providing a fast and alternative energy source in the form of ketone bodies. These findings suggest potential therapeutic applications for aging and neurodegenerative disorders for ketogenic interventions and suggest a key modulation of the central nervous system, likely involving astrocyte-neuron pathway.
