Phase response analyses support a relaxation oscillator model of locomotor rhythm generation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Neural circuits coordinate with muscles and sensory feedback to generate motor behaviors appropriate to an animal’s environment. In C. elegans, the mechanisms by which the motor circuit generates undulations and modulates them based on the environment are largely unclear. We quantitatively analyzed...
