I'd heard it said that the best human simulators required something like one laptop per neuron - I take it this is because cerebral cortex neurons are more demanding than any C. elegans neuron?
Right -- some cortical neurons have 10,000 synapses, while the entire C. elegans nervous system has less than 8,000.
