Concerted pulsatile and graded neural dynamics enables efficient chemotaxis in C. elegans

The ability of animals to effectively locate and navigate toward food sources is central for survival. Here, using C. elegans nematodes, we reveal the neural mechanism underlying efficient navigation in chemical gradients. This mechanism relies on the activity of two types of chemosensory neurons: o...
