Worm Brain Simulator
Simulate a worm brain with the GoPiGo or GoPiGo3 and a Raspberry Pi.
4. Many Muscles
Motor neurons connect to muscles to either excite or inhibit. The worm’s neural-motor circuit using excitatory and inhibitory connections gives the worm an undulating movement in that it can contract some muscles while relaxing others, then contract the relaxed muscles while relaxing the ones it just contracted. There are 95 body muscles that run the length of the worm’s body: 24 muscles along the upper left, 23 along the lower left, 24 along the upper right and 24 along the lower right.
