MIT researchers tracked activity across a worm’s entire nervous system, revealing how odors trigger intentional navigation.
Animal behavior reflects a complex interplay between an animal's brain and its sensory surroundings. Only rarely have ...
Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology—how to accurately ...
How do worms navigate? A new study maps the whole-brain circuit of C. elegans, revealing how neurons and the chemical ...
Earthworms often form a cluster, from which they can barely free themselves. A similarly active, writhing structure forms when the tentacles of lion's mane jellyfish become entangled. Robotic grippers ...
Computer-modeled body movements of a simulated worm (top) and a real worm (bottom). The graphs show body movement patterns over time for both worms (left). On the right, moving images show how closely ...
