Their preprint is online here: and you can explore the data set via an online browser here: and a basic simulator based on these data here: (3/4).

They used stimulation and recording from individual cells and measured the weights of 23,427 pairs of neurons. Incredible amount of effort ! (2/4).

A major obstacle to modeling the nervous system of the worm has been the unknown weights of the connections. Which are excitatory or inhibitory and how strong? Well, the lab of @AndrewLeifer has put out a Neural Signal propagation atlas to address this critical gap (1/4).

Hey #worm23 — do you think Large Language models could help you navigate the c. elegans literature? Curious for your thoughts!.
