Deciphering neural circuits for Caenorhabditis elegans behavior by computations and perturbations to genome and connectome
{\it Caenorhabditis elegans} nematode worms are the only animals with the known detailed neural connectivity diagram, well characterized genomics, and relatively simple quantifiable behavioral output. With this in mind, many researchers view this animal as the best candidate for a systems biology approach, where one can integrate molecular and cellular knowledge to gain global understanding of worm's behavior. This work reviews some research in this direction, emphasizing computational perspective, and points out some successes and challenges to meet this lofty goal.
