this begs the question... how are we seeing life patterns appear from that?

I apologize in advance, but this is my one pre-existing contribution to the world that mentions mapping of Drosophilia brains, and having just used it in its intended "copypasta" role this morning, I was excited to coincidentally see this Emulation link on HN this morning. https://gist.github.com/scottvr/f968b65bedf7a4635a4cdd643628... It is ludicrously-escalating grotesque sci-fi (intended for sending over SMS), so you can safely skip it if that's not your cup of tea.

I wonder if they’re just activating small parts of the brain at once. It seems to me that they aren’t simulating every single neuron at all times, and I do not see being able to run the model in real time. Are they also modelling the ventral nerve cord for the walking?
