The sense I get of it is that they can custom build neural network models of various sub-circuits to produce certain behaviors, but no one has been able to take the connectome and build a 302 neuron model that replicates any behavior. Would you agree? I've searched for quite a long time for something like this and talked to a couple faculty members to no avail, so if you could turn up anything I would be very happy to read about it. I agree with you on your last point: we can replicate behavior without going to a very low level of simulation. However, the case of C. elegans seems like very strong evidence that the connectome and current knowledge of update rules is not enough to create a model of an organism that replicates behavior.
