Information flow through a model of the C. elegans klinotaxis circuit
, 2015 Understanding how information about external stimuli is transformed into behavior is one of the central goals of neuroscience. Here we characterize the information flow through a complete sensorimotor circuit: from stimulus, to sensory neurons, to ...

Reynolds number limits for jet propulsion: A numerical study of simplified jellyfish [PDF]
, 2010 The Scallop Theorem states that reciprocal methods of locomotion, such as jet propulsion or paddling, will not work in Stokes flow (Reynolds number = 0).

Phototaxic foraging of the archaepaddler, a hypothetical deep-sea species [PDF]
, 1998 An autonomous agent (animat, hypothetical animal), called the (archae) paddler, is simulated in sufficient detail to regard its simulated aquatic locomotion (paddling) as physically possible. The paddler is supposed to be a model of an animal that might

eLifeLocomotion is a fundamental behavior of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Previous works on kinetic simulations of animals helped researchers understand the physical mechanisms of locomotion and the muscle-controlling principles of neuronal circuits ...

Smed-dynA-1 is a planarian nervous system specific dynamin 1 homolog required for normal locomotion
Biology Open, 2014 Dynamins are GTPases that are required for separation of vesicles from the plasma membrane and thus are key regulators of endocytosis in eukaryotic cells. This role for dynamin proteins is especially crucial for the proper function of neurons, where they

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]
, 2017 Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates energy balance. Leptin receptors are expressed in extrahypothalamic sites and several reports showed that leptin can influence feeding and locomotor behavior via direct actions on dopaminergic neurons ...

Phenotype-Based Screening of Synthetic Cannabinoids in a Dravet Syndrome Zebrafish Model. [PDF]
, 2020 Dravet syndrome is a catastrophic epilepsy of childhood, characterized by cognitive impairment, severe seizures, and increased risk for sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

Keeping track of worm trackers [PDF]
, 2012 C. elegans is used extensively as a model system in the neurosciences due to its well defined nervous system. However, the seeming simplicity of this nervous system in anatomical structure and neuronal connectivity, at least compared to higher animals ...

An information theory based behavioral model for agent-based crowd simulations [PDF]
, 2010 Crowds must be simulated believable in terms of their appearance and behavior to improve a virtual environment’s realism. Due to the complex nature of human behavior, realistic behavior of agents in crowd simulations is still a challenging problem.
