“…Fig. 1(b) shows a conventional simplified central nervous system model of the C. elegans [14,15,16]. The model consists of seven neuron models {N1, • • • , N7}, and the dynamics of the model is described by ordinary differential equations [29].…”

“…Since neuroanatomy of the C. elegans has been well understood, it has been utilized as a model animal in various research fields such as genetics, molecular biology, development, and nervous system [8,9,10]. In addition, there exist various research projects aiming at designing artificial central nervous system models of the C. elegans by electronic circuits [11,12,13,14,15,16,17], where their motivations include to build fundamental frameworks for developing brain-inspired robotics and brain-inspired computing. For example, Refs.…”

This study proposes a novel design method of a neuromorphic electronic circuit: design of a neuromorphic circuit based on appropriately selected hybrid dynamics of sequential logic with a single clock, sequential logic with multiple clocks, and numerical integration. Based on the proposed design method, a novel central nervous system model of C. elegans is presented. It is shown that the presented model can realize typical responses of a conventional central nervous system model of C. elegans. Furthermore, the presented model is implemented by a field programmable gate array and is used to control a prototype robot of C. elegans body. Experiments validate that the presented central nervous system model enables the body robot to reproduce typical chemotaxis behaviors of the conventional C. elegans model. In addition, comparisons show that the presented model consumes fewer circuit elements and lower power compared to various central nervous system models of C. elegans based on the sequential logics and the numerical integration.

“…This can be a drawback when simulating experiments like the ones described in Dusenbery and Barr ( 1980 ) and Rankin ( 1991 ), where different types of stimuli are combined to analyse the behavior of the animal. Works like Appiah et al ( 2016 ) do make use of different types of stimuli, but do not model what happens in the environment to apply those stimuli, i.e., they apply stimuli directly to sensory neuron without taking into account where the worm is located, its shape or any aspect that could influence the magnitude of the received stimuli.…”

This paper focusses on the simulation of the neural network of the Caenorhabditis elegans living organism, and more specifically in the modeling of the stimuli applied within behavioral experiments and the stimuli that is generated in the interaction of the C. elegans with the environment. To the best of our knowledge, all efforts regarding stimuli modeling for the C. elegansare focused on a single type of stimulus, which is usually tested with a limited subnetwork of the C. elegansneural system. In this paper, we follow a different approach where we model a wide-range of different stimuli, with more flexible neural network configurations and simulations in mind. Moreover, we focus on the stimuli sensation by different types of sensory organs or various sensory principles of the neurons. As part of this work, most common stimuli involved in behavioral assays have been modeled. It includes models for mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical and light stimuli, and for proprioception-related self-sensed information exchange with the neural network. The developed models have been implemented and tested with the hardware-based Si elegans simulation platform.
