Abstract

Neuronal activity is coordinated with neuroenergetics. Yang et al. demonstrate that dynamic translocation of Rheb to mitochondrial matrix activates pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) independent of mTORC1 and mediates neuronal-activity-regulated mitochondrial metabolism. Their findings suggest a mechanism by which Rheb integrates PDH-dependent energy production and mTORC1-dependent energy consumption.
