Can we barely model it yet? I thought they weren’t at the point of getting able to simulate any actual work behaviours?

We can model neural activations but the whole-cell body simulation was still unstable last I checked (admittedly a year or so ago)

Does the modeled activity track any real world measurements, though? If we're going to claim any real veracity from a simulation then we need to crosscheck it against real measurements, right?

I believe they’ve attempted to measure synapse weights from real worms for training the net, the firings themselves are just basic electrochemistry.
