- wegfawefgawefg 3y agoVery interesting. Its like smaller brains have a higher clock speed. global oscillations?
- skydhash 3y agoLess processing to be done? Something like a fly has a much lower reaction time than a chicken.
- jacquesm 3y agoSmaller systems tend to tick over faster. Compare a fly heart with the heart of a mammal and the heart of the child with the heart of an adult. Or an elephant... Neural pathways will be longer and so slower, they may have more synapses in them. Overall it would be highly surprising for a larger system to have a higher clockrate than a smaller one.
