An Information-Theoretic Characterization of the Optimal Gradient Sensing Response of Cells

Many cellular systems rely on the ability to interpret spatial heterogeneities in chemoattractant concentration to direct cell migration. The accuracy of this process is limited by stochastic fluctuations in the concentration of the external signal and in the internal signaling components. Here we u...
