In biological organisms, the temperature is an important factor, which affects the motion of micro-particles and biochemical reaction. In current work, we investigate the effect of temperature on the capacity of information processing and the energy efficiency of the Hodgkin’s three basic classes of neurons. Increasing the temperature, both of the total entropy and information rate would maintain nearly as constant, and then decrease rapidly and fall to zero. Moreover, energy consumption is reduced as the temperature increases. However, the energy consumption of the class 1 neuron is remarkably greater than that of class 2 and 3 neurons with the same temperature. It is also interesting that the class 3 neuron consumes less energy than that of class 1 and 2 neurons, but generates the same value of total entropy and information rate for the same condition.

在生物有机体中，温度是影响微粒运动和生化反应的重要因素。在当前的工作中，我们研究了温度对信息处理能力和霍奇金三类基本神经元能量效率的影响。增加温度，总熵和信息率几乎保持不变，然后迅速下降并降至零。此外，随着温度的升高，能耗降低。然而，在相同温度下，1 类神经元的能量消耗明显大于 2 类和 3 类神经元。同样有趣的是，第 3 类神经元消耗的能量比第 1 类和第 2 类神经元消耗的能量少，
