The paper investigates the relationship between information gain and energy cost during early LTP in dendritic spines using stochastic thermodynamics.

This paper shows that dendritic spine sizes in mammalian brains nearly maximize entropy for given mean sizes, suggesting near-optimal information storage in synapses.

This paper analyzes the energy requirements of BCM-type synaptic plasticity and shows that information storage precision can increase without significant metabolic cost.
