The study doesn't mention this anywhere, but one can assume it considers only a state of glycolysis. This makes the the title/conclusion a bit misleading.

In case of ketosis [1], the brain mainly relies on ketone bodies for fuel.. I'm curious about how one's brain would perform in such state - judging by personal experience, the results would be very different.
