Whole integration of neural connectomics, dynamics and bio-mechanics for identification of behavioral sensorimotor pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract: The ability to fully discern how the brain orchestrates behavior requires the development of successful computational approaches to integrate and inform in-vivo investigations of the nervous system. To effectively assist with such investigations, computational approaches must be generic, scalable and unbiased. We propose such a comprehensive framework to investigate the interaction between the nervous system and the body for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Specifically, we introduce a model t… Show more

“…The reason is that neural activity supported by the connectome and its relation to the target function are nonlinear dynamic processes [29]. The complexity is evident from C. elegans nervous system which connectome was fully mapped, however, ablations of the connectome cause outcomes that are difficult to predict without examination of neural activity and behavior [30][31][32].…”

“…As an example, we use the computational neuro-mechanical model of C. elegans to set up our experiments. The model consists of a simulation of a full nervous system activity with the body [31,32]. In order to mimic the typical chemotaxis environment, we extend the model to support spatial gradient stimuli which introduces stimulus into olfactory neurons in realistic way [36].…”

“…While the anatomical connectome includes the backbone information on possible ways of how neurons could interact, it does not fully reflect the “wiring diagram of the brain”, which is expected to incorporate the dynamic nature of neurons' activity and their interactions (Lee and Reid, 2011 ; Kopell et al, 2014 ; Kim et al, 2019a , b ). In particular, the anatomical connectome does not correspond to how the anatomical structure relates to brain function since each anatomical connectivity map can encode several functional outcomes of the brain (Bargmann and Marder, 2013 ).…”
