The researchers have taken a very simple idealized mathematical model of a neuron, assumed that all synaptic weights were the same, ignored modulation, ignored base level inhibitory inputs, and have shown that even in such a crude setting, for some important inputs (especially for a taste of sugar) the "logic" of how the inputs result in the activation of certain outputs still works, based on the connectome information alone. This is certainly very cool. But as the authors themselves point out [1], much more work remains to be done to reproduce more subtle features of the dynamics of the system.
