Locomotion of C. elegans: a piecewise-harmonic curvature representation of nematode behavior.

Locomotion of C. elegans: a piecewise-harmonic curvature representation of nematode behavior.

Caenorhabditis elegans, a free-living soil nematode, displays a rich variety of body shapes and trajectories during its undulatory locomotion in complex environments. Here we show that the individual body postures and entire trails of C. elegans have a simple analytical description in curvature repr...
