Shouldn’t we weigh neurons by level of graph/central complexity? (eg neurons by how “central” they are to the system). Many neurons simply don’t factor into evaluations of hedons (even motor and sensory neurons)
Yeah, even the information for total number of neurons is absent for many invertebrates. More specific information like that would rarely be available.

I agree, but I’m not sure how available this info has been, maybe until recently. This might be useful approximation:

Number of synapses could also be relevant, but I’d assume this data is even harder to find.
