Dynamics of the Model of the Caenorhabditis Elegans Neural Network
Abstract
The model of the neural network of nematode worm C. elegans resulting from the biological investigations and published in the literature, is proposed. In the model artificial neurons Siin (-1,1) are connected in the same way as in the C. elegans neural network. The dynamics of this network is investigated numerically for the case of simple external simulation, using the methods developed for the nonlinear systems. In the computations a number of different attractors, e.g. point, quasiperiodic and chaotic, as well as the range of their occurrence, were found. These properties are similar to the dynamical properties of a simple one dimensional neural network with comparable number of neurons investigated earlier.
