Figure 4.
Effect of aging on relative energy consumption. The relative energy consumption is the mean number of dendritic spikes (across dendritic compartments) per number of somatic spikes (see “Methods” for a formal definition). (a) Snapshots of the Neuron A after pruning iterations. (b) The relative energy consumption of the neuron as a function of the pruning iteration, averaged over the parameter space and . (c) Snapshots of the relative 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).
