Flexible motor sequence generation during stereotyped escape responses

Flexible motor sequence generation during stereotyped escape responses

Complex animal behaviors arise from a flexible combination of stereotyped motor primitives. Here we use the escape responses of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to study how a nervous system dynamically explores the action space. The initiation of the escape responses is predictable: the animal m...
