    An open question as it regards task differences I guess. Here is an interesting study from Nathalie Rochefort on what happens to responses in visual cortex during food scarcity. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34741806/

    /2 Previously, we showed that food restriction reduces synaptic activity in the visual cortex of male mice, resulting in ATP savings, but a loss of coding precision (https://t.co/f2DVUflcuI). These changes were driven by reductions in leptin, a fat mass-regulated hormone. https://t.co/MKwzZXs11A

    How does the brain conserve energy when it can't feed itself over long periods? In mice, visual cortex increases input resistance and resting membrane potential; less EPSPs, same firing rate, saves ATP. Pretty amazing stuff! Wonder how humans fare https://t.co/6h8YYX2eI6

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates how the mouse brain's neocortex adapts to food scarcity by reducing energy expenditure, specifically in processing visual information.
  • During food restriction, there was a decrease in the conductance of AMPA receptors, which lowered ATP consumption by neurons while maintaining their excitability.
  • This energy-saving mechanism compromised coding precision, leading to reduced visual discrimination, which was linked to lower levels of the hormone leptin; supplementing leptin restored the coding precision.
