While metabolic constraints have played a major role in the evolution of the brain, how information processing and energy consumption are interconnected remains difficult to pin down. Recently, Padamsey et al. experimentally investigated this relationship in the context of visual information processing in food-deprived mice. By combining the analysis of their activity data, mean-field theory, and numerical simulations of a continuous-attractor neural network, I will propose a mechanism by which neural circuits can save a considerable amount of energy without significantly affecting their performance.
