<p>There is a worm named C. Elegance and its anatomy is completely know to us. Every cell is mapped out and every neuron is well studied. This worm has an interesting property by birth and that is it follows or grow towards only those temperature regions in which it was born. <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.7881" rel="nofollow">Here is link to the paper.</a> This paper has implementation of the property with neuronal model. And there are some students who have built robot that only follows dark regions in the region having different shades of light, using this neuronal model. This work could have been done using other methods as well but this method is more noise resilient as proved by paper to which I have given link above.</p>
Brain modelling
<p>Just wondering, since we've reached 1 teraflop per PC, yet we are still not able to model an insect's brain.
Has anyone seen a decent implementation of a self-learning, self-developing neural network?</p>
