Depends on whose stream you are wading in. <== This is a recent publication (MIT Press) that is NOT about CP. It is about biologic information handling with a slight leaning toward visual systems, but overall quite general. It details energy needs of circuits. Guess what? All this stuff we were assuming to be the reality is, in fact, solid. Rock solid.

If you are in any field of biology, read this book. It is quite readable.

The sections on mitochondria and their role and limitations in complex synaptic structures is worth the whole book.
