What can you do a map of all connectivity in the brain? Using very simple biophysical modeling, we “ran” the fruit fly connectome. For any given set of input neurons, we can predict what neurons will respond.
And theoretical and modelling work. On one extreme, you can use the data and some simple assumptions about how neurons work to create a sort of “digital twin” of the fly
