Generative models for building a worm's mind
Oren Richter & Elad Schneidman · COSYNE 2023
The structure and function of biological neural networks are the result of biological “construction rules”, physical limits, stochasticity, developmental noise, and learning. The nature of these building rules and the resulting architectures are fundamental to our understanding of neuro-developmental plans and the structure and function of neural circuits. The detailed reconstruction of connectomes makes it possible to study their design; Recent reconstruction of connectomes during different developmental stages in C. elegans allows for characterization of their development.
