You have divergence from yourself on a moment-by-moment basis, and we can show this by looking at all of the diffusion rates throughout your entire brain. So really what you want to do is capture some sort of 'design essence' of the brain architecture, much like Markram has been doing with his whole brain simulations and minicolumnar research. http://heybryan.org/intense_world_syndrome.html or something. - Bryan So, re: c. elegans and neuroscience, see:

It is rather useless. If you wanted to retrieve information... well, in the future, after death they could probably take apart the area responsible for memory. Unfortunately, human memory is plastic so I'm not sure how useful it would be. That is like cloning- sure, you get a copy, but the original is dead. It is rather useless.
