Energetics Of Brain Evolution

Energetics of Brain Evolution is a theoretical framework in evolutionary neuroscience that explains the metabolic constraints and trade-offs influencing the development and expansion of brain size and complexity across species by integrating energy availability, neural tissue costs, and life history evolution.
