Olfactory neuroscientists have known for a while that their stimuli stink. In many experiments, lab animals inhale puffs of a single strong odorant for only a few seconds at a time, an experience that “likely bears little resemblance—either in concentration or in form—to the ways in which animals naturalistically interact with odors,” says Sandeep Robert Datta, professor of neurobiology at Harvard University.

To say that the brain is a communication device is almost cliché. The very name of this publication—The Transmitter—testifies to the ubiquity of the analogy. Yet most models of the brain take a sharply limited view of what communication in the brain really entails.

Whenever William Smith runs a calcium imaging experiment, he spends 40 minutes staring at a screen. “It gives you a lot of reflective and contemplative time to think about what’s going on,” says Smith, a graduate student in Stefan Pulver’s lab at the University of St Andrews. During these reflections, Smith says he started to wonder how much energy he was using, and in turn how much carbon that released into the atmosphere. So he decided to find out.
