Modeling Drosophila positional preferences in open field arenas with directional persistence and wall attraction.

Modeling Drosophila positional preferences in open field arenas with directional persistence and wall attraction.

In open field arenas, Drosophila adults exhibit a preference for arena boundaries over internal walls and open regions. Herein, we investigate the nature of this preference using phenomenological modeling of locomotion to determine whether local arena features and constraints on movement alone are s...
