Figure 1

Fitness cost of a myelinated axon segment as a function of its diameter. The lines show the volume cost, the delay cost, and the total cost. Notice that the total cost has a minimum. Diameter and cost values are normalized to their respective optimal values and, as a result, are dimensionless.
