The geometry of locomotive behavioral states in C. elegans.

The geometry of locomotive behavioral states in C. elegans.

We develop a new hidden Markov model-based method to analyze C elegans locomotive behavior and use this method to quantitatively characterize behavioral states. In agreement with previous work, we find states corresponding to roaming, dwelling, and quiescence. However, we also find evidence for a co...
