I mean you can look at neurons in vitro and see how they adopt to different stimuli.
Idk I’d weakly guess that the neuron level learning rules are relatively simple, and that they construct more complex learning rules for e.g. cortical minicolumns and eventually cortical columns or sth, and that we might be able to infer from the connectome what kind of function cortical columns perhaps implement, and that this can give us a strong hint for what kind of cortical-column-level learning rules might select for the kind of algorithms implemented there abstractly, and that we can trace rules back to lower levels given the connectome. Tbc i don’t think it might look exactly like that, just saying sth roughly like that, where maybe it’s actually some common circut loops instead of cortical columns which are interesting or whatever.
