This volume is concerned with metabolic reactions occurring in the
nervous system. Some time ago, it was thought that since most of
the intermediary metabolism that can be observed in the brain is
not specific to this organ, there is little justification in
studying neural metabolism as such. Later it was realized that for
an understanding of neural functions, the understanding of
metabolism in the brain and its alterations is essential. All
aspects of the metabolism of a substrate in brain, or all metabolic
reactions of the nervous system, could not be included in this
volume; some will be dealt with in other volumes (such as the ones
covering metabolic turn over, alterations of metabolism, or
pathology). Review of the aspects covered here clearly shows that
the study of metabolic reactions in the nervous system is a very
active field, producing important results. As in so many areas of
research, as we learn more, new aspects become known, new questions
emerge, and we see that in solving some problems we open areas with
many additional problems to solve. But the accomplishments to date
are impressive and indicate further important advances in the
future. Brain metabolism is more active, more plastic, and more
comprehensive than previously estimated. It is an essential part of
brain function, and with its alteration, brain function will be
altered. This shows the importance of more knowledge in this area.
It is hoped that this volume will be of assistance in such further
studies."
