Topological Data Analysis of C. elegans Locomotion and Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2021 We apply topological data analysis to the behavior of C. elegans, a widely studied model organism in biology. In particular, we use topology to produce a quantitative summary of complex behavior which may be applied to high-throughput data. Our methods allow us to distinguish and classify videos from various environmental conditions and we analyze the ...

Motor state changes escape behavior of crickets
iScience, 2023 Summary: Animals change their behavior depending on external circumstances, internal factors, and their interactions. Locomotion state is a crucial internal factor that profoundly affects sensory perception and behavior.

Inhibitory hippocampus-medial septum projection controls locomotion and exploratory behavior
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2023 Although the hippocampus is generally considered a cognitive center for spatial representation, learning, and memory, increasing evidence supports its roles in regulating locomotion.

Adaptive Locomotion Control of a Hexapod Robot via Bio-Inspired Learning
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021 In this paper, an adaptive locomotion control approach for a hexapod robot is proposed. Inspired from biological neuro control systems, a 3D two-layer artificial center pattern generator (CPG) network is adopted to generate the locomotion of the robot ...

Morphological Evolution of Physical Robots through Model-Free Phenotype Development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Artificial evolution of physical systems is a stochastic optimization method in which physical machines are iteratively adapted to a target function. The key for a meaningful design optimization is the capability to build variations of physical machines ...

Chaotic Exploration and Learning of Locomotion Behaviors [PDF]
Neural Computation, 2012 We present a general and fully dynamic neural system, which exploits intrinsic chaotic dynamics, for the real-time goal-directed exploration and learning of the possible locomotion patterns of an articulated robot of an arbitrary morphology in an unknown environment.

Studies of intercellular invasion in vitro using rabbit peritoneal neutrophil granulocytes (PMNS). I. Role of contact inhibition of locomotion. [PDF]
, 1975 Intercellular invasion is the active migration of cells on one type into the interiors of tissues composed of cells of dissimilar cell types. Contact paralysis of locomotion is the cessation of forward extension of the pseudopods of a cell as a result of

EGFR and FGFR pathways have distinct roles in Drosophila mushroom body development and ethanol-induced behavior. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) signaling has a conserved role in ethanol-induced behavior in flies and mice, affecting ethanol-induced sedation in both species.
