Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published the report.
Here are four observations:
1. The researchers found the activity of 77 neurons in the worms’ nervous systems were associated with the worms’ specific behavior.
2. This behavior included actions such as forward motion and turning.
3. The study was the first to provide a detailed understanding of brain neural activity with “single-neuron resolution in the brain.”
4. Since a worm is a simple organism, the researchers predict it will be several years before this test can be executed on humans.
