For a neuron to function, an input of free energy from ATP is required to set up the sodium and potassium ion concentration gradients such that a signal can be propagated down the axon of a neuron without the necessity of ATP. The system could have worked the opposite way. The neuron could have used ATP to move ions across when a signal was being propagated and then allow natural diffusion to return the ions to their respective sides of the membrane. What advantage does the organism have using ATP up front
