mishig25 shares a visualization of the C. elegans nervous system built with astra: all 302 neurons, 3,709 directed chemical connections and 1,105 electrical pairs, using connectome data from Cook et al. (2019) via OpenWorm's ConnectomeToolbox.
"This worm don't know it in matrix" — a cool demo that turns a complete biological connectome into an interactive visual, bridging neural networks and neuroscience.
