Behavioral strategies employed for chemotaxis have been described across phyla, but the sensorimotor basis of this phenomenon has seldom studied in naturalistic contexts. Here, we examine how signals experienced during free olfactory behaviors are processed by first-order sensory neurons (OSNs) Drosophila larva. We find that OSNs can act as differentiators transiently normalize stimulus intensity-a property potentially derived from a combination integral feedback and feed-forward regulation...
In animal locomotion a tradeoff exists between stereotypy and flexibility: fast long-distance travelling (LDT) requires coherent regular motions, while local sampling area-restricted search (ARS) rely on flexible movements. We report here posture control system in C. elegans that coordinates these needs. Using quantitative analysis we explain worm as composite of two modes: undulations versus turning. Graded reciprocal regulation both modes allows animals to flexibly adapt their strategy...
Electrosensation has emerged as a crucial sensory modality for social communication, foraging, and predation across the animal kingdom. However, its presence functional role well neural basis of electric field perception in Drosophila other invertebrates remain unclear. In environments with controlled fields, we identified electrosensation new sense melanogaster larva. We found that larva performs robust electrotaxis: when exposed to uniform field, larvae migrate toward cathode (negatively...
This protocol explores the sensitivity of C. elegans Nuclear Hormone Receptor (NHR) mutants to known nematocidial drugs using pixel variation as data output for paralysed/killed worms.
Interpreting sensory information requires its integration with the current behavior of animal. However, how motor-related circuits influence processing is incompletely understood. Here, we report that locomotor state directly modulates activity BAG CO2 neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans. By recording neuronal animals freely navigating landscapes, found during reverse crawling states, suppressed by tyraminergic corollary discharge signaling. We provide genetic evidence tyramine released from...
