How Can C. elegans Brain Data Enhance Computational Neuroscience Models?

[Arsenic&Lace]

So I have downloaded the connectome of c.elegans for my own amusement; I have a few very simple neural models I want to implement. However they require some knowledge of the boundary conditions, i.e. given that a touch or temperature sensor on c.elegans has certain inputs, what is the incoming signal (or the closest approximation to it) and output of the system? I don't know much about computational neuroscience and I know even less about c.elegans, so finding such information has proven difficult. Anybody know where to start?

Thanks!

I don't know either, but these should have pointers to the literature.

You might be able to find this information if you dig deep in the WormAtlas. For instance, this overview's references may contain hard numbers:

Intriguing, I'll munge through these. Thanks folks.
