- TITLE
Optical analysis of locomotor behavior in a worm
- ABSTRACT
A fundamental goal of neuroscience is to understand how neural circuits
generate coordinated behaviors. My laboratory studies brain and behavior in the
microscopic roundworm C. elegans. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach,
integrating tools from biology, physics, engineering, and computation. I will
describe our efforts to understand the mechanisms by which the worm generates
and coordinates sinusoidal undulations during locomotion. In addition, I will discuss new automation
tools we are developing for biological discovery using C. elegans.
