Is it possible that there are benefits from eating neurons? It seems likely that organisms with brains have better nutrition when consumed for one’s own brain.
I can’t tell which answer to this question is meant to be ‘for’ or ‘against’ the OP’s point, but it sounds like the latter. Even if it’s the case the neurons contain something useful nutritionally (and I’d be surprised but not too surprised if it were), consider that these shellfish have neurons, and unlike other meats, we actually eat the neurons instead of them being part of organs we remove before eating. Also, that we have very good reason to avoid eating the neural tissues of mammals.
True, but I would also think that there are nutritional differences in the other parts of the body, as brains significantly change how the organism functions in their other eating behaviors, and energy consumption

Ah, I see, ok.
