Abstract :
Over the past few years, the importance of axonal conduction delays has been emphasized by a number of authors. Different models are proposed for the approximation of signal delays, where some of them have been evaluated in the context of the optimal neuronal layout problem. Our paper presents computational experiments on the impact of two wiring cost functions, proposed by D. Chklovskii and O. Shefi et al., when applied to interneuronal connections in small ML neuronal networks.
