Figure 3.

Effect of aging on total energy consumption. The total energy consumption is the total number of dendritic spikes per somatic spikes (see “Methods” for a formal definition). (a) Snapshots of the Neuron A after pruning iterations. (b) The total energy consumption of the neuron as a function of the pruning iteration, averaged over the parameter space $0.5\le P\le 1$ and ${10}^{-2}\le h\le {10}^3$. (c) Snapshots of the total energy consumption at specific pruning iterations over a range of parameters P and h. The number at the top of each panel represents the iteration (marked by the vertical lines in b).
