Connecting a Connectome to Behavior: An Ensemble of Neuroanatomical Models of C. elegans Klinotaxis

A, Unique information about the sensory input in the interneurons. The coverage of a cell measures the range of the sensory stimuli over which it is sensitive to changes. When the left and right cells specialize over a different range of possible sensory stimuli, their combined coverage can be greater than their average independent coverage. The x-axis represents the gain in coverage when the left and right AIY cells are considered jointly from when each cells is considered independently. The y-axis represents the same information for the AIZ pair. B, Role of gap junctions in the interneurons. Effects of simulated blocked gap junction on coverage of the interneurons over the range of step changes in concentration for AIY and AIZ cells. The x-axis represents the loss in coverage when the AIY gap junction is blocked, compared to when it is functioning normally. The y-axis represents the same information for the AIZ pair. Each point represents a network from the successful population.
