Neuroscience thought problem: Someone gives you simultaneously recorded spike trains (ms resolution) from every neuron in a region of the brain under multiple task conditions. No connectome. What analysis tools do you deploy to study mechanisms by which circuits support behavior?
Yep and I personally doubt we’ll see either the opt mechanism (if any) or the more specific computational built-ins you’re referring to, with pure recording minus perturbation and connectomics.

If that's true, and cell type-specific perturbation during behavior is required, this will be a very long slog in rodents and near impossible in primates. (I'm more optimistic about connectomics become easy across the board.)

Now I start to see why you asked the question!
