In this paper, we extend our previous model circuit for steering in C. elegans to control a more realistic biomechanical model of forward locomotion. We show that the identified steering circuit is sufficient to steer the full body during forward locomotion while only innervating a few of the anterior most neck muscles. Analysis of the sensorimotor transformation and phasic stimulation experiments provides evidence that the principles of operation for steering discussed in the model are…

Modeling Behavioral Experiment Interaction and Environmental Stimuli for a Synthetic C. elegans

This work focuses on the stimuli sensation by different types of sensory organs or various sensory principles of the neurons, and includes models for mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical and light stimuli, and for proprioception-related self-sensed information exchange with the neural network.

Forward and backward locomotion patterns in C. elegans generated by a connectome-based model simulation

A connectome-based neural network model consisting of motor neurons of classes A, B, D, AS, and muscle, considering both synaptic and gap connections is presented, which can be trained to reproduce the activity patterns measured for an animal (HRB4 strain).

Biological connectomes as a representation for the Architecture of Artificial Neural Networks

It is demonstrated that biophysical realism need not be upheld to attain the advantages of using biological circuits, and it is shown that while the C. Elegans locomotion circuit provides a powerful inductive bias on locomotion problems, its structure may hinder performance on tasks unrelated to locomotion such as visual classification problems.

Self-optimization in a Hopfield neural network based on the C. elegans connectome

It is demonstrated for the first time that the self-optimization process can be generalized to bigger and biologically plausible networks and speculated that the reset-convergence mechanism could find a biological equivalent in the sleep-wake cycle in C. elegans.

Models and mechanisms in network neuroscience

An improved understanding is gained of the ways in which mathematical and computational models are deployed in network neuroscience, as well as an improved conception of mechanistic explanation in general.

Foraging success under uncertainty: search tradeoffs and optimal space use.

It is shown that normal diffusion is not enough for determining optimal exploratory behaviour but anomalous diffusion is required and the need to consider search movement as a non-stationary process that brings the organism from one informational state to another is considered.

Gait Modulation in C. elegans: An Integrated Neuromechanical Model

A model of C. elegans forward locomotion is presented that includes a neuromuscular control system that relies on a sensory feedback mechanism to generate undulations and is integrated with a physical model of the body and environment and reproduces the entire swim-crawl transition with no modulatory mechanism.

Neurobiology of Caenorhabditis elegans Locomotion: Where Do We Stand?

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is used for detailed studies of genetic and physiological locomotion mechanisms, and locomotion behavior, the parts constituting the locomotion system, and the relevant neuronal connectivity are described.

Evolution and Analysis of Minimal Neural Circuits for Klinotaxis in Caenorhabditis elegans

A minimalistic neural network, comprised of an ON-OFF pair of chemosensory neurons and a pair of neck muscle motor neurons, is sufficient to generate realistic klinotaxis behavior, suggesting that the model may be operating according to principles similar to those of the biological network.

Dimensionality and Dynamics in the Behavior of C. elegans

It is shown that the space of shapes adopted by the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is low dimensional, with just four dimensions accounting for 95% of the shape variance, and Stimulus-dependent correlations among the different modes suggest that one can generate more reliable behaviors by synchronizing stimuli to the state of the worm in shape space.

Circuit and Behavioral Analysis of Klinotaxis in Caenorhabditis elegans

This dissertation investigates the neural basis of the sensorimotor transformation underlying a spatial orientation strategy in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and finds a minimal neuronal network for klinotaxis to sodium chloride including the ASE, AIY, AIZ, and SMB neuron classes that displays left/right asymmetry across the sensory neuron, interneuron, and motor neuron levels.

Connecting a Connectome to Behavior: An Ensemble of Neuroanatomical Models of C. elegans Klinotaxis

This paper develops a neuroanatomically-grounded model of salt klinotaxis, a form of chemotaxis in which changes in orientation are directed towards the source through gradual continual adjustments.

Controlling interneuron activity in Caenorhabditis elegans to evoke chemotactic behavior

Optogenetics and new optical tools are used to manipulate neural activity directly in freely moving animals to evoke chemotactic behaviour and it is discovered that controlling the dynamics of activity in just one interneuron pair (AIY) was sufficient to force the animal to locate, turn towards and track virtual light gradients.
