answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Glucose is the form of sugar that travels in your bloodstream to fuel the mitochondrial furnaces responsible for your brain power. Glucose is the only fuel normally used by brain cells. Because neurons cannot store glucose, they depend on the bloodstream to deliver a constant supply of this precious fuel.

Brain cells require two times the energy needed by all the other cells in the body; roughly 10% of our total daily energy requirements.
