What Masud Husain actually said

  1. Masud Husain Professor of Neurology at the University of Oxford
    It's showing us that apathetic people use more brain energy when they're making this decision. They have a bigger activation energy barrier to overcome because when they're making that decision, the brain is consuming more energy. It's consuming more glucose when it's doing that.
