Keywords: Neural network; C. elegans; Brain

Summary/Abstract: Study provides a starting point for computational modeling of the dynamics of C. elegans neural network. It lists basic structural properties of the network together with a simple example of modeling dynamics. It discusses some obstacles in modeling biologically realistic phenomena and speculates about how study of simpler organisms can help us in understanding more complex brains.
