Head and Tail Localization of C. elegans
C. elegans is commonly used in neuroscience for behaviour analysis because of it's compact nervous system with well-described connectivity. Localizing the animal and distinguishing between its head and tail are important tasks to track the worm during behavioural assays and to perform quantitative analyses. We demonstrate a neural network based approach to localize both the head and the tail of the worm in an image. To make empirical results in the paper reproducible and promote open source machine learning based solutions for C. elegans behavioural analysis, we also make our code publicly available.

SIM-CE: An Advanced Simulink Platform for Studying the Brain of Caenorhabditis elegans
We introduce SIM-CE, an advanced, user-friendly modeling and simulation environment in Simulink for performing multi-scale behavioral analysis of the nervous system of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). SIM-CE contains…
Deciphering the underlying mechanisms of the pharyngeal motions in Caenorhabditis elegans
The pharynx of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a neuromuscular pump that exhibits two typical motions: pumping and peristalsis. While the dynamics of these motions are well characterized, the underlying mechanisms…
Non-Associative Learning Representation in the Nervous System of the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) illustrated remarkable behavioral plasticities including complex non-associative and associative learning representations. Understanding the principles of such mechanisms presumably le…
Deciphering neural circuits for Caenorhabditis elegans behavior by computations and perturbations to genome and connectome
{\it Caenorhabditis elegans} nematode worms are the only animals with the known detailed neural connectivity diagram, well characterized genomics, and relatively simple quantifiable behavioral output. With this in mind, …
Whole-brain calcium imaging with cellular resolution in freely behaving C. elegans
The ability to acquire large-scale recordings of neuronal activity in awake and unrestrained animals poses a major challenge for studying neural coding of animal behavior. We present a new instrument capable of recording…
