How neural activity in the brain generates a particular behavior is not well understood. The focus of the talk will be on modeling neural circuit responsible for forward and backward locomotion in the nematode C. elegans. In particular, I will discuss an optimal pattern of connections
between neurons that gives the best match to the locomotory data for this animal.
