Sensorimotor pathway controlling stopping behavior during chemotaxis in the Drosophila melanogaster larva

Sensorimotor pathway controlling stopping behavior during chemotaxis in the Drosophila melanogaster larva

Sensory navigation results from coordinated transitions between distinct behavioral programs. During chemotaxis in the Drosophila melanogaster larva, the detection of positive odor gradients extends runs while negative gradients promote stops and turns. This algorithm represents a foundation for the...
