Highlights•Electrical signaling consumes substantial amounts of energy influencing
physiology and anatomy.•Action potential energy consumption depends on the voltage …

The complex connectivity of nervous systems is thought to have been shaped by competitive
selection pressures to minimize wiring costs and support adaptive function. Accordingly …

Malacostracan crustaceans display a large diversity of sizes, morphs and life styles.
However, only a few representatives of decapod taxa have served as models for analyzing …

As the study of the human brain is complicated by its sheer scale, complexity, and
impracticality of invasive experiments, neuroscience research has long relied on model …

Our general understanding of neuronal function is that dendrites receive information that is
transmitted to the axon, where action potentials (APs) are initiated and propagated to …

Transport networks serve critical functions in biological and engineered systems, and yet
their design requires trade-offs between competing objectives. Due to their sessile lifestyle …

Neural circuits have evolved to accommodate similar information processing challenges as
those faced by engineered systems. Here, we compare neural versus engineering strategies …

The activity and maintenance of neurons requires substantial metabolic energy, resulting in
selective pressure to decrease resource consumption by the nervous system. The wiring …
