Quantitative analysis of thermotaxis in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract excerpt

Thermotaxis (TTX) is one of the sophisticated behaviors in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Although the mechanisms of thermotaxis have been deduced from different studies, they are controversial. Previous studies proposed a behavioral model where thermotaxis is regulated by the counterbalance between two opposite driving forces, while recent studies proposed stochastic models. In this study, we analyzed...
