The ant brain has around 250000 neurons. Of course we can simulate it. But it would require us to know exactly all of the neural mechanism and nets, and that is extremly difficult. Researchers have only so far simulated a worm brain, which has a m... read more
The ant brain has around 250000 neurons. Of course we can simulate it. But it would require us to know exactly all of the neural mechanism and nets, and that is extremly difficult. Researchers have only so far simulated a worm brain, which has a mere 300 neurons. read more
Not all animals have neurons; Trichoplax and sponges lack nerve cells altogether. Neurons may be packed to form structures such as the brain of vertebrates or the neural ganglions of insects. The number of neurons and their relative abundance in different parts of the brain is a determinant of neural function and, consequently, of behavior. read more
