Description
The latest version of this model can be found at http://www.opensourcebrain.org/projects/c302
Note: the development of the OpenWorm model of C. elegans is taking place at http://www.openworm.org.
A full list of those involved in that project can be found here.
The C. elegans 3D model this was derived from was produced by Dr. Christian Grove and Dr. Paul Sternberg at the VirtualWorm project (WormBase, CalTech) and released into the public domain. You can visit the VirtualWorm home page at http://caltech.wormbase.org/virtualworm/ .
For details on running this neuroConstruct project see: https://github.com/openworm/OpenWorm/wiki/Running-the-C.-elegans-model-in-neuroConstruct.
This is a work in progress. Please get in contact for more information.
Status
This model is still very much in the early stages of development.
While the individual cell morphologies are in NeuroML, and the connectivity can be generated in neuroConstruct using real connection data, a full spiking model requires much more information about the electrical properties of neurons in C. elegans
