- This study establishes a benchmark for Caenorhabditis elegans neuron classification, comparing four graph methods (GCN, GraphSAGE, GAT, GraphTransformer) against four non-graph methods (Logistic Regression, MLP, LOLCAT, NeuPRINT). Using the functional connectome, we classified Sensory, Interneuron, and Motor neurons based on Spatial, Connection, and Neuronal Activity features. Results show that attention-based GNNs significantly outperform baselines on the Spatial and Connection features. The Neuronal Activity features yielded poor performance, likely due to the low temporal resolution of the underlying neuronal activity data. Our benchmark validates the use of GNNs and highlights that Spatial and Connection features are key predictors for Caenorhabditis elegans neuron classes.
