I apologize in advance, but this is my one pre-existing contribution to the world that mentions mapping of Drosophilia brains, and having just used it in its intended "copypasta" role this morning, I was excited to coincidentally see this Emulation link on HN this morning.
I wonder if they’re just activating small parts of the brain at once. It seems to me that they aren’t simulating every single neuron at all times, and I do not see being able to run the model in real time. Are they also modelling the ventral nerve cord for the walking?

It is ludicrously-escalating grotesque sci-fi (intended for sending over SMS), so you can safely skip it if that's not your cup of tea.
