A stochastic neuronal model predicts random search behaviors at multiple spatial scales in C. elegans

A stochastic neuronal model predicts random search behaviors at multiple spatial scales in C. elegans

Random search is a behavioral strategy used by organisms from bacteria to humans to locate food that is randomly distributed and undetectable at a distance. We investigated this behavior in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, an organism with a small, well-described nervous system. Here we formulat...
