Cortical Composition Hierarchy Driven by Spine Proportion Economical Maximization or Wire Volume Minimization.

The structure and quantitative composition of the cerebral cortex are interrelated with its computational capacity. Empirical data analyzed here indicate a certain hierarchy in local cortical composition. Specifically, neural wire, i.e., axons and dendrites take each about 1/3 of cortical space, spi...
