In Neuroscience

The nervous system scales with animal size, maintaining function while minimizing wire. In contrast to most animal organs, which scale through the proliferation of dividing cells of similar size, brains expand by modulating the size of non-dividing neuronal cells to innervate space during development. As a result, there is notable diversity in neuronal size and structure within individual brains and between different species. This diversity raises an important question: how do neurons maintain computational function across diverse sizes while minimizing wiring costs? Two theoretical results ha
