Summarizing https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.06578.pdf
Here's my try:
This text discusses the development of a new technology that allows for the reverse engineering of an entire nervous system using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tools to map out and manipulate neurons in the brain. The author argues that Caenorhabditis elegans is the ideal candidate system due to its established optophysiology techniques, conserved form and function across individuals, and potential for machine learning based modeling. This could lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treating neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and autism. Additionally, this technology will benefit the design of artificial intelligence systems and all of systems neuroscience, enabling fundamental insights as well as new approaches for investigations of progressively larger nervous systems. By reverse engineering a nervous system, we can learn about how neurons work together to produce behavior, which could lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treating neurological disorders. We can also build simulations that predict behavior based on sensory signals and internal states, and validate these models by running in-silico experiments. Ultimately, our goal is to develop an explanatory model of the dynamics of functions
