Robust tracking and quantification of<i>C. elegans</i>body shape and locomotion through coiling, entanglement, and omega bends

Abstract excerpt

The behavior of the well-characterized nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), is often used to study the neurologic control of sensory and motor systems in models of health and neurodegenerative disease. To advance the quantification of behaviors to match the progress made in the breakthroughs of genetics, RNA, proteins, and neuronal circuitry, analysis must be able to extract subtle changes in worm...
