In many neurons, the axonal volume far exceeds the somato-dendritic volume, creating a need for long-range transport and local polarization mechanisms. In addition, action potential firing and restoration of ionic gradients, as well as dynamic changes in synaptic plasticity, further increase the energetic demands of neurons. In this review, we highlight the roles mitochondria play in vertebrate neuronal biology and how mitochondrial functionality is tuned to support the unique demands of neurons. We cover the influence of mitochondrial positioning, ATP generation and Ca2+ buffering on neuronal function, and explore the role of mitochondria in neurotransmitter metabolism and local protein translation. 000285207 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-352$$a352 - Disease Mechanisms (POF4-352)$$cPOF4-352$$fPOF IV$$x0 000285207 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: pub.dzne.de 000285207 650_7 $$2Other$$aCa(2+) signaling 000285207 650_7 $$2Other$$alocal translation 000285207 650_7 $$2Other$$aneuronal cell biology 000285207 650_7 $$2Other$$aneurotransmitter metabolism 000285207 650_7 $$2Other$$arespiration 000285207 650_7 $$2Other$$atransport 000285207 650_7 $$0SY7Q814VUP$$2NLM Chemicals$$aCalcium 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMitochondria: physiology 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMitochondria: metabolism 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAnimals 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeurons: physiology 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeurons: metabolism 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aSignal Transduction: physiology 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeuronal Plasticity: physiology 000285207 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCalcium: metabolism 000285207 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)9002293$$aGubinelli, Francesco$$b1$$udzne 000285207 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)9000040$$aBurbulla, Lena F$$b2$$udzne 000285207 7001_ $$aHarbauer, Angelika B$$b3 000285207 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2011000-5$$a10.1016/j.tins.2025.12.006$$gVol. 49, no. 2, p. 141 - 154$$n2$$p141 - 154$$tTrends in neurosciences$$v49$$x0378-5912$$y2026 000285207 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/285207/files/DZNE-2026-00186.pdf$$yRestricted 000285207 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/285207/files/DZNE-2026-00186.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000285207 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-2719)9002293$$aExternal Institute$$b1$$kExtern 000285207 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)9000040$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b2$$kDZNE 000285207 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-352$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-350$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lNeurodegenerative Diseases$$vDisease Mechanisms$$x0 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz$$d2025-11-05$$wger 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1120$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Reviews Reports And Meetings$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bTRENDS NEUROSCI : 2022$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2025-11-05 000285207 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9915$$2StatID$$aIF >= 15$$bTRENDS NEUROSCI : 2022$$d2025-11-05 000285207 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)5000074$$kAG Burbulla$$lTranslational Disease Modeling$$x0 000285207 980__ $$ajournal 000285207 980__ $$aEDITORS 000285207 980__ $$aVDBINPRINT 000285207 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)5000074 000285207 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
