Abstract: What determines the caliber of axonal branches? We pursue the hypothesis that the axonal caliber has evolved to minimize signal propagation delays, while keeping arbor volume to a minimum. We show that for a general cost function the optimal diameters of mother (do) and daughter (d], d 2 ) branches at a bifurcation obey v v 路 d
