In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes, an MIT study finds.
Boston MA (SPX) Aug 24, 2023 - To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists have needed a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain - a so far insurmountable c
An MIT team has produced an atlas of how most cells, and the circuits they take part in, encode a worm's actions. The atlas reveals the underlying “logic” of how an animal brain produces a sophisticated and flexible repertoire of behaviors, even as its environmental circumstances change.
To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists have needed a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain-;a so far insurmountable challenge.
One of the most in-depth catalogs of an animal’s brain-body connections ever compiled ties neural activity to roundworm behavior
