Motor neurons are optimised for information processing and if we assume that similarly-sized biological objects can pack equivalent amounts of information I think there may be a neuron that can solve the problems required for Paramecium survival. We can start with chemotaxis.

However, if we take into account the 'critique of pure learning' by
@TonyZador: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/582643v1 … ...we would need to model both learning and evolution for 'innate' properties. Geoffrey Hinton's paper on the Baldwin Effect is also key: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5d6c/84e7cd46d0a520ad6784a0f7f6825ef83685.pdf …Prikaži ovu nit -

People might wonder how this generalises to the human brain. Well, the human brain is basically a system of neurons whose subnetworks are competing and collaborating with each other.

Note: A motor neuron and Paramecium have similar dimensions ~ 0.1 mm diameter. So we can think of Paramecia as swimming motor neurons. :)

You can go well before the animalia, even single celled plants are pretty mobile and doing some really interesting locomotion while at the same time integrating a lot of complex sensory info. Even bacteria...

And by the standards of natural selection, they are far and away the winners in comparison to humans. Waaaay more of them, by mass, by number, by longevity. We're just a blip.
