Thanks for pointing that out! I will tell my friends to make sure they actually get good data for the metabolic cost and not just use cortical neuron count as proxy if they cannot find something good.
(Or is there also another point you wanted to make?) And yeah it’s actually also an argument for why orcas might be less intelligent (if they sorta use their neurons less often). Thanks.
