Not that I know of; more than a review it would have to be a book, really, detailing the inner workings of the C. elegans connectome.

Some recent works I've seen:

"Parallel multimodal circuits control an innate foraging behavior", López-Cruz et al. 2019 from @CoriBargmann 's lab

"Forward and backward locomotion patterns in C. elegans generated by a connectome-based model simulation", Sakamoto et al. 2021
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-92690-2

"Learning the dynamics of realistic models of C. elegans nervous system with recurrent neural networks", Barbulescu et al. 2023
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-25421-w

See also pretty much all other papers from Cori Bargmannn's lab: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=Wd7XWVYAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate

"However, when asked to suggest more specific improvements, it fails and starts what is often described as hallucinating, the process by which the LLM provides a confident sounding response that is false or unsubstantiated."

“The idea that profits drove our current bout of #inflation surfaced in the last few years among progressive economists and lawmakers but was waved away by more mainstream types as a "conspiracy theory." That changed earlier this year.”
