Kaya von Eugen of the Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, said: "What surprised us most was not that neurons consume less glucose – this can be predicted
The researchers explained that a landmark study in 2016 showed that bird brains have more neurons than similarly sized mammalian brains
To answer this question, von Eugen and his colleagues set out to determine neuronal energy budgets for birds based on studies of pigeons
Their study found that the amount of glucose consumed by the brain when pigeons were awake was surprisingly low (27.
This means that neurons in the bird brains consume on average three times
Von Eugen said the difference could be related to the birds' higher body temperature or the specific layout of their brains
Von Eugen said: "Our findings explain how birds are able to support so many neurons
The researchers say they now want to learn more about how bird neurons
