An energy costly architecture of neuromodulators for human brain evolution and cognition
2023-04-25
Abstract excerpt
Humans spend more energy on the brain than any other species. However, the high energy demand cannot be fully explained by brain size scaling alone. We hypothesized that energy-demanding signaling strategies may have contributed to human cognitive development. We measured the energy distribution along signaling pathways using multimodal brain imaging and found that evolutionarily novel connections have up to 67% h...
