In animals, proper locomotion is crucial to find mates and foods and avoid predators or
dangers. Multiple sensory systems detect external and internal cues and integrate them to …

Proprioception and visceral mechanosensation provide important information about the
location and deformation of the body parts in space and time. These deformations arise from …

Animal neuromechanics describes the coordinated self-propelled movement of a body,
subject to the combined effects of internal neural control and mechanical forces. Here we …

To better understand how a nervous system controls the movements of an organism, we
have created a three-dimensional computational biomechanical model of the …

Tauopathies are a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the
presence of insoluble intracellular tau filaments in the brain. Evidence suggests that there is …

Although the synaptic connections of the C. elegans connectome have been precisely
mapped with detailed electron microscopy studies of nematode slices, their excitatory or …

With a reconstructed and extensively characterized neural circuit, Caenorhabditis elegans is
a fascinating model system for the study of neural circuits and behavior. Here, we review the …

Recent whole-brain calcium imaging recordings of the nematode C. elegans have
demonstrated that the neural activity associated with behavior is dominated by dynamics on …

Multiple mechanisms contribute to the generation, propagation, and coordination of the
rhythmic patterns necessary for locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans. Current experiments …

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) can produce various motion patterns despite having
only 69 motor neurons and 95 muscle cells. Previous studies successfully elucidate the …
