TLDR
A novel ketone ester can ameliorate proteopathic and behavioral deficits in a mouse AD model by reducing levels of hyperphosphorylated tau deposition in the regions of the hippocampus, amygdala, and cortex.

Ketone bodies as signaling metabolites

TL;DR: Findings support a model in whichβOHB functions to link the environment, in this case the diet, and gene expression via chromatin modifications, and the implications of HDAC inhibition by the ketone body βOHB in the modulation of metabolism and in diseases of aging.

Brain metabolism in health, aging, and neurodegeneration

TL;DR: It is suggested that lifestyles that include intermittent bioenergetic challenges, most notably exercise and dietary energy restriction, can increase the likelihood that the brain will function optimally and in the absence of disease throughout life.

Differential Contribution of Amygdala and Hippocampus to Cued and Contextual Fear Conditioning

TL;DR: An associative roles for the amygdala and a sensory relay role for the hippocampus are suggested in fear conditioning, which is involved in the conditioning of fear responses to simple, modality-specific conditioned stimuli as well as to complex, polymodal stimuli.
