"Caenorhabditis Elegans" the worm that can't resist its food.

One of the very interesting things about the "Caenorhabditis Elegans" worm is that this kind of creature is one of the examples of the creatures. That has only reflexes. There are only two main axons in those neurons. The input and output axons are making those cells similar to reflex neurons of the human nervous system. 

And that means when "Caenorhabditis Elegans" smells food it cannot resist that smell. Those cells transform that worm into a living missile that is going in the direction of that smell. 

The Elgans worm is an example of an impressive, simple, and effective way to use neurons. The brains of the system are the 32 neurons that are operating multiple sensory cells. The system works very simply. When the worm detects that the smell of food comes from the left side the system activates muscles that the worm starts to turn to that source of the smell.

When the neurons that operate the sensory cells in the middle of the worm's nose activate that worm starts to travel to that food. When the worm travels to food it makes the  worm make "Deep S" shape movements.  

That movement makes it possible for this worm can estimate its distance to food by using triangular metering. The brains of that tiny worm are estimating the angles of different sensory cells. And when the worm is close enough. That makes it to hit to target. 

If human senses are connected directly to the muscles using reflex neurons. Humans would act like this worm. If those reflex neurons connect the sense of hearing to the muscles, the person will do whatever other people say.

If our olfactory coil would be connected to muscles only through the neurons that have in and out connections humans would act like in the cartoon, where the character cannot resist the smell of food. The  "Caenorhabditis Elegans"  is the real-life version of the horror-movie zombie that smells food and then travels to it like some missile. 

"Caenorhabditis Elegans" is one example of reflex automation. When sensors are seeing something the automatic action will make something. One of the examples is the case where water rises too high in some room. That thing causes an action that the system opens ventilation.
