Understanding how neural perturbations propagate in the nervous system is important for understanding neural dynamics, to elucidate specific circuits, and to reveal how neuroanatomy relates to neural function. Here, we systematically perturb individual neurons in C. elegans while measuring the responses of all neurons in its brain in order to directly measure functional connectivity at brain scale and cellular resolution. Specifically, we measure the sign, strength, direction, and temporal properties of the connections between neurons. We present a preliminary functional connectome, currently
