Sidestepping the connectome question, it's worth noting that if perturbation vectors are directly aligned to neurons, that's *really useful.* It's even more useful if they are aligned to neurons of a specific cell-type. So state space is useful, but the details really matter, too, IMO.

In this paper, we found an optotagged cell class in the medial habenula, which by all appearances looks like a line attractor. If we could stimulate the population of neurons (and some math simplifies), then we'd be one step closer to understanding integration in (mouse) brains.
