What an atlas-fitted connectome can and cannot do: evolutionary search over interneuron stimulation in a whole-body C. elegans model
The C. elegans connectome is complete, but which behaviors its wiring can produce, and which it cannot, is unknown. We asked this question in a whole-body simulation whose only adaptive element is a learning agent outside the nervous system. The agent may inject current into a short whitelist of interneurons, never int...
