The science of 'hitting the wall'

(Cell Press) Runners, swimmers, and cyclists are familiar with the phenomenon of 'hitting the wall' when the connection between brain and body feels like it's been lost. In Cell Metabolism on May 2, researchers show in mice the physiological basis for why this phenomenon occurs. Their research also found that training is not the only way to enhance endurance -- it can also be achieved using a small molecule to stimulate a pathway known to be activated by training.
