Neural Network Models of Chemotaxis in the Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans

Abstract

We train recurrent networks to control chemotaxis in a computer model of the nematode C. elegans. The model presented is based closely on the body mechanics, behavioral analyses, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of C. elegans, each imposing constraints rel(cid:173) evant for information processing. Simulated worms moving au(cid:173) tonomously in simulated chemical environments display a variety of chemotaxis strategies similar to those of biological worms.
