Multi-dimensional structure of C. elegans thermal learning
Ahmed Roman, Konstantine Palanski, Ilya Nemenman +1
Quantitative models of associative learning that explain the behavior of real animals with high precision have turned out very difficult to construct. We do this in the context of…
Automated, predictive, and interpretable inference of C. elegans escape dynamics
Bryan C. Daniels, William S. Ryu, Ilya Nemenman
The roundworm C. elegans exhibits robust escape behavior in response to rapidly rising temperature. The behavior lasts for a few seconds, shows history dependence, involves both se…
Resolving coiled shapes reveals new reorientation behaviors in C. elegans
Onno D Broekmans, Jarlath B Rodgers, William S Ryu +1
We exploit the reduced space of C. elegans postures to develop a novel tracking algorithm which captures both simple shapes and also self-occluding coils, an important, yet unexplo…
Stereotypical escape behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans allows quantification of nociceptive stimuli levels
Kawai Leung, Aylia Mohammadi, William S. Ryu +1
Experiments of pain with human subjects are difficult, subjective, and ethically constrained. Since the molecular mechanisms of pain transduction are reasonably conserved among dif…
The emergence of stereotyped behaviors in C. elegans
Greg J. Stephens, William S. Ryu, William Bialek
Animal behaviors are sometimes decomposable into discrete, stereotyped elements. In one model, such behaviors are triggered by specific commands; in the extreme case, the discreten…
From modes to movement in the behavior of C. elegans
Greg J Stephens, Bethany Johnson-Kerner, William Bialek +1
Organisms move through the world by changing their shape, and here we explore the mapping from shape space to movements in the nematode C. elegans as it crawls on a planar agar sur…
Dimensionality and dynamics in the behavior of C. elegans
Greg J Stephens, Bethany Johnson-Kerner, William Bialek +1
A major challenge in analyzing animal behavior is to discover some underlying simplicity in complex motor actions. Here we show that the space of shapes adopted by the nematode C.…
