Field notes
The three lessons use circuits for smell memory, orientation, and escape, with short step sequences and a question in each. WiredMind says it derives neuron and synapse counts from the MaleCNS v1.0 connectome, but trims three small circuits, removes connections below five synapses, and draws neurons as simplified lines. The page also describes a Share link that replays a student's run spike for spike.
