contents The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. It is demonstrated that the seven known triangle-free strongly regular graphs, such as the Higman-Sims graph, are graphs of maximal complexity among all graphs of the same order and degree; their complements are shown to be of minimal complexity. A generalization to nearly regular graphs with two distinct eigevalues of the Laplacian is presented. Conjectures and applications of these results to biological problems on neuronal activity are described.
