The velocity-curvature power law in <i>Drosophila</i> larval locomotion

2016-07-05

Abstract excerpt

We report the discovery that the locomotor trajectories generated by crawling fruit fly larvae follow the same power law relationship between speed and curvature previously found in the human motor control of hand-drawing, walking, eye movements and speech. Using high resolution behavioral tracking of individual flies in different sensory environments, we tested the power law by making maggots trace different traj...
