Myelin: A possible proton capacitor for energy storage during sleep and energy supply during wakefulness

Key Points

• Myelin serves as a potential proton capacitor, facilitating energy dynamics between sleep and wakefulness.
• This analysis reveals myelin's unique capacity to store energy when asleep, transitioning to energy supply during waking hours.
• Observational analysis highlights the physiological systems involved in energy management through myelin activity.
• These findings support the idea that myelin may play a crucial role in regulating energy during different states of consciousness.
