Abstract
The development of an ‘artificial brain’ is one of the greatest challenges in artificial intelligence, and its success will have innumerable benefits in many and diverse fields, including the creation of autonomous robotic agents. Most research effort is spent on modelling vertebrate brains. Yet smaller brains can display comparable cognitive sophistication, while being more experimentally accessible and amenable to modelling.
