Also by far the most amazing achievement in terms of sheer work by Sydney Brenner's group way back in the day. They SERIAL SECTIONED a few worms and imaged with electron microscopy to build a detailed anatomical map of every cell, with special attention to neuronal connections. This is an insane amount of incredibly tedious work. You can see the fruits of their labors at the Worm Atlas.
