Planarian Phototactic Assay Reveals Differential Behavioral Responses Based on Wavelength
Planarians are free-living aquatic flatworms that possess a well-documented photophobic response to light. With a true central nervous system and simple cerebral eyes (ocelli), planarians are an emerging model for regenerative eye research. However, comparatively little is known about the physiology of their photoreception or how their behavior is affected by various wavelengths. Most phototact...
متن کاملThe planarian TRPA1 homolog mediates extraocular behavioral responses to near-ultraviolet light
Although light is most commonly thought of as a visual cue, many animals possess mechanisms to detect light outside of the eye for various functions, including predator avoidance, circadian rhythms, phototaxis and migration. Here we confirm that planarians (like Caenorhabditis elegans, leeches and Drosophila larvae) are capable of detecting and responding to light using extraocular photorecepti...
متن کاملDAMAGE IDENTIFICATION IN STRUCTURES USING TIME DOMAIN RESPONSES BASED ON DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION ALGORITHM
An effective method utilizing the differential evolution algorithm (DEA) as an optimisation solver is suggested here to detect the location and extent of single and multiple damages in structural systems using time domain response method. Changes in acceleration response of structure are considered as a criterion for damage occurrence. The acceleration of structures is obtained using Newmark me...
متن کاملPhototactic responses of Chlamydomonas eugametos gametes before and after fusion.
The phototactic behavior of Chlamydomonas eugametos gametes and vis-à-vis pairs was quantitated using a fully automated, computer-controlled microvideo image analysis system. Two different mt- (mating type minus) and one mt+ (mating type plus) strain, together with the two combinations of pairs were studied. One mt- strain of dark-adapted gametes was non-phototactic while the others were positi...
متن کاملEmergent Phototactic Responses of Cyanobacteria under Complex Light Regimes
Environmental cues can stimulate a variety of single-cell responses, as well as collective behaviors that emerge within a bacterial community. These responses require signal integration and transduction, which can occur on a variety of time scales and often involve feedback between processes, for example, between growth and motility. Here, we investigate the dynamics of responses of the photota...
