Why the study?
Does recurrent hypoglycemia alter regional brain activation compared to initial hypoglycemia in healthy adults?
Does recurrent hypoglycemia alter regional brain activation compared to initial hypoglycemia in healthy adults?
Greater synaptic activity in the dorsal midline thalamus during recurrent hypoglycemia suggests an active inhibitory role in reducing counterregulatory responses, contributing to hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure.

May implicate thalamic inhibition in hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation in diabetes.
Arbeláez et al. (2007) studied this question.
