Automated detection and analysis of foraging behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Foraging is a rapid, side-to-side movement of the nose generated by Caenorhabditis elegans as it explores its environment. In this paper, we present an automated method to detect and analyze foraging behavior of C. elegans in a video sequence. Several morphological image-processing methods are used to locate the precise nose position of the worm in each image. Then foraging events are detected ...

utes to their tendency to form clumps spontaneously. Since the rise of the field of sociobiology, the study of Though the exact relationship between these behaviors the biological basis of social behavior, scientists have is not known, they all appear to be related to food restriven to assign genetic origins for a variety of social sponse in some manner: in the absence of food, clumpbehaviors. ...
متن کاملStarvation-induced collective behavior in C. elegans
We describe a new type of collective behavior in C. elegans nematodes, aggregation of starved L1 larvae. Shortly after hatching in the absence of food, L1 larvae arrest their development and disperse in search for food. In contrast, after two or more days without food, the worms change their behavior--they start to aggregate. The aggregation requires a small amount of ethanol or acetate in the ...
متن کاملCocaine Modulates Locomotion Behavior in C. elegans
Cocaine, a potent addictive substance, is an inhibitor of monoamine transporters, including DAT (dopamine transporter), SERT (serotonin transporter) and NET (norepinephrine transporter). Cocaine administration induces complex behavioral alterations in mammals, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we tested the effect of cocaine on C. elegans behavior. We show for the fir...
متن کاملDevelopmental programming modulates olfactory behavior in C. elegans via endogenous RNAi pathways
Environmental stress during early development can impact adult phenotypes via programmed changes in gene expression. C. elegans larvae respond to environmental stress by entering the stress-resistant dauer diapause pathway and resume development once conditions improve (postdauers). Here we show that the osm-9 TRPV channel gene is a target of developmental programming and is down-regulated spec...
