Changes in total energy consumption during 30 s of bursting with various types of stimuli. When stimulated for 0–1 s, the neuron’s total energy consumption remains low (209.6130–238.6591 nJ) regardless of the magnitude of the current stimulus (red line). By contrast, when stimulated during 0–5 s, total energy consumption varies greatly (210.1846–361.7620 nJ) (blue line). When intermittent stimulation is applied, total energy consumption is similar to that of 0–5 s (213.9738–353.3333 nJ) (green line). (Color figure online)
