THE WORM THAT NO COMPUTER SCIENTIST CAN CRACK

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The OpenWorm project, launched in 2011, has been attempting to create a complete computer simulation of the C. elegans nematode, a simple organism with only 302 neurons. Despite the worm's relative simplicity and extensive research data, the project has struggled to produce a realistic simulation. Researchers believe that successfully simulating the worm could change our understanding of how brains and bodies interact.
