Temporal analysis of stochastic turning behavior of swimming C. elegans.
Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits spontaneous motility in isotropic environments, characterized by periods of forward movements punctuated at random by turning movements. Here, we study the statistics of turning movements-deep Omega-shaped bends-exhibited by swimming worms. We show that the durations of intervals between successive Omega-turns are uncorrelated with one another and are effectively...

متن کاملOlfactory behavior of swimming C. elegans analyzed by measuring motile responses to temporal variations of odorants.
Caenorhabditis elegans responds to chemical cues using a small number of chemosensory neurons that detect a large variety of molecules in its environment. During chemotaxis, C. elegans biases its migration in spatial chemical gradients by lengthening (/shortening) periods of forward movement when it happens to be moving toward (/away) from preferred locations. In classical assays of chemotactic...
متن کاملEpisodic swimming behavior in the nematode C. elegans.
Controlling the choice of behavioral output is a central function of the nervous system. Here we document a novel spontaneous behavioral transition in C. elegans locomotion. Upon transfer of the nematode from a solid surface into a liquid environment, swimming occurs in two phases: an initial, 1-2 h phase of continuous swimming, followed by a second phase during which swimming is episodic. Duri...

the current thesis is composed in five chapters in the following fashion: chapter two encompasses the applied framework of the project in details; the methodology of carl gustav jung to explain the process of individuation, the major archetypes and their attributes and his techniques to assess the mind’s strata are all explained. moreover, the austrian psychoanalysts, heinz kohut’s models of a...
