Brain Glucose Supply and The Syndrome of Infantile Neuroglycopenia
Arch Neurol 64:507-513, Pascual,J.M.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
When neuroglycopenia - the lack of adequate glucose supply to the nervous system - occurs in the developing brain, thalamic and cortical metabolism mature aberrantly, causing epilepsy associated with other characteristic neurologic and behavioural disturbances, a pattern also reflected in functional images, as if there were a temporal window during which glucose were crucial for brain development. When maturation is complete, glucose merely serves as a fuel, and then, when deficient, it only causes unrelated disturbances.
