Dextrose. Fructose. Lactose. Maltose. Glucose. A sugar by any other name is still sugar. In fact, there are more than 50 different names for it. But is sugar bad for you? Essentially, there are two types of sugar; there is “good” sugar that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables and “bad” added sugar that’s added to sweeten sodas, candy, baked goods, and so on.
The “good” sugar is actually needed within the body, particularly within the brain. Following a meal, food is broken down; specifically glycogen, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and triglycerides, which are broken down into glucose. Glucose is so crucial to cell function that glucose deprivation can lead to loss of consciousness and eventual cell death. Therefore, after a meal, the body has a system in place in which excess glucose is stored as a reserve.
All cells need the energy to function; the large mass of neuron cells that make up the brain needs energy, largely in the form of glucose, to function. Did you know that the brain uses approximately 20 percent of an individual’s daily energy intake? (1)
Not only is sugar essential for your basic brain functions, but it tastes delicious too! Once you eat something with sugar in it, your taste receptors are activated, sending signals to your brain that set off an entire cascade of stimulation. In particular, the dopaminergic pathway is activated and triggers your “YUM!” signal. This pathway starts in a cluster of cells at the base of your brainstem called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and extends through the lateral hypothalamus to the nucleus accumbens in the forebrain. Behaviors that stimulate the release of the neurotransmitter, dopamine, within this pathway have been shown to be highly motivational.
Glucose is crucial to cell function and survival and it stimulates the reward pathway in your brain which makes everything feel like unicorns and rainbows. Life is good. Except that too much of something, is usually the opposite of good. But how many grams of sugar should you ingest per day? The American Heart Association suggests that individuals ingest a maximum daily intake of 6 teaspoons of sugar for women and 9 teaspoons for men. On average, people ingest 22 teaspoons of added sugar, which is on top of the naturally occurring sugar in our diet. (2, 3)
So as our reward pathway keeps getting stimulated, the dopamine receptors become desensitized and require more dopamine to get the same pleasant feeling.
Therefore, there needs to be more consumption of, in this case, the sugary food or beverage, to elicit the same response. This increase in consumption has been shown to result in obesity, including childhood obesity. An increased diet in saturated fats and sugar (also known as a high-energy diet) can have fundamental changes within the brain that in conjunction with the increased neurotransmitter release (dopamine) can have detrimental effects. Such effects include…
Learning and Memory
Studies show that a diet high in sugar and saturated fats can promote oxidative stress, leading to cell damage. In 2010 Scott Kanoski, an associate professor of biological sciences at Perdue University, demonstrated that a three-day diet of increased sugar and saturated fats resulted in impaired hippocampal function (learning and memory), causing the rats to have difficulty finding food within a maze. (4)
Other studies also illustrate that the hippocampus, in particular, is sensitive to a high-energy diet. (5)
Addiction
Sugar addiction is real. The pathway activated for addiction is the same as the reward pathway. Persistent increases in the release of the neurotransmitter, dopamine, leads to desensitization and requires more consumption for the reward. It changes gene expression and creates a consumption→ Dopamine release→ reward→ pleasure→ motivate cycle that is increasingly difficult to break. (6)
Depression & Anxiety
Attempts in trying to break the addictive cycle can lead to mood swings and irritability. Eliminating all additive sugar from your diet can lead to some of the same symptoms of drug withdrawal. Sugar withdrawal symptoms include headaches, anxiety, cravings and even chills.
Cognitive Deficits
Prolonged diets with high sugar may lead to changes in gene expression. That affects everything from neurotransmitters to receptors and the basic function of the cell. In particular, studies suggest the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is impacted. This is active in the hippocampus, cortex and forebrain and is vital to learning and memory, as well as supporting existing neurons while promoting the formation of new synapses. This is reduced in high sugar diets. (7)
Therefore, it’s unsurprising that a correlation between low BDNF levels and Alzheimer’s, depression and dementia has been discovered. New and continuing research in the field of neuroscience continues to provide valuable information on the effect that excessive sugar has on the brain. Further information gained from such research could also lead to changes in the way that specific cognitive disorders are treated. (8)

NIH study in rats suggests that support cells modulate brain circuit activity.
A fresh look at the brain and breathing: NIH study in rats shows that star-shaped brain cells, called astrocytes (red) may play an active role in breathing. Jeffrey C. Smith lab, NIH/NINDSTraditionally, scientists thought that star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes were steady, quiet supporters of their talkative, wire-like neighbors, called neurons. Now, an NIH study suggests that astrocytes may also have their say. It showed that silencing astrocytes in the brain’s breathing center caused rats to breathe at a lower rate and tire out on a treadmill earlier than normal. These were just two examples of changes in breathing caused by manipulating the way astrocytes communicate with neighboring cells.
“For decades we thought that breathing was exclusively controlled by neurons in the brain. Our results suggest that astrocytes actively help control the rhythm of breathing,” said Jeffrey C. Smith, Ph.D., senior investigator at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and a senior author of the study published in Nature Communications. “These results add to the growing body of evidence that is changing the way we think about astrocytes and how the brain works.”
Dr. Smith’s lab investigates how breathing is controlled by the rhythmic firing of neurons in the preBötzinger complex, the brain’s breathing center that his lab helped discover. For this study, his team worked with Alexander Gourine, Ph.D., professor at University College London (UCL), whose lab found that astrocytes in neighboring parts of the brain may regulate breathing by sensing changes in blood carbon dioxide levels.
At least half of the brain is comprised of cells called glia and most of them are astrocytes. Recently scientists have shown that astrocytes may communicate like neurons by shooting off, or releasing, chemical messages, called transmitters, to neighboring cells.
In this study, the scientists tested the role of astrocytes in breathing by genetically modifying the ability of astrocytes in the preBötzinger complex to release transmitters. When they hushed the astrocytes in rats by reducing transmitter release, the rats breathed and sighed at a lower rate than normal. In contrast, if they made the astrocytes chattier by increasing transmission, the rats breathed at higher resting rates and sighed more often.
The team also tested how silencing astrocytes affected the rats’ responses to changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Although the rats’ breathing rate increased when oxygen levels were lower or carbon dioxide levels higher, it was still lower than normal. Silencing astrocytes also decreased the rate at which the rats sighed under lower oxygen levels. Moreover, the rats became exhausted much earlier than normal. They could only run half the distance that normal rats could run on a treadmill before tiring out.
“The primary goal of breathing is the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen that is critical for life. Our results support the idea that astrocytes help the brain translate changes in these gases into breathing,” said Shahriar Sheikhbahaei, Ph.D., formerly a doctoral student at UCL and participant in the NIH Graduate Partnership Program, and the lead author of the study.
Finally, the team showed that these astrocytes used adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to communicate with other cells in the brain. Inactivating released ATP reduced resting breathing rates and the frequency of sighs under normal and low oxygen levels.
“Our results expand our understanding of how the brain controls breathing under normal and disease conditions,” said Dr. Smith. “We plan to follow this path to understand how astrocytes help control other aspects of breathing.”
This study was supported by the Intramural Research Program at the NINDS, the Wellcome Trust, British Heart Foundation (Ref. RG/14/4/30736), BBSRC (Refs. BB/L019396/1, BB/K009192/1), the Medical Research Council (Ref. MR/L020661).
NINDS is the nation’s leading funder of research on the brain and nervous system. The mission of NINDS is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease.
