The oregon one looks to me like it was about emulation: each of the 302 neurons will be implemented according to available anatomical and physiological data.

The rome one I think you may be right.

Is the nematode too small to measure whether synapses are exciting on inhibiting?

I was basing my judgement on the Oregon papers. I suppose that there may be emulation attempts lurking behind other non-emulation papers.

It's also possible they only proposed to do emulation, but never got funded.
