Sensorimotor integration: locating locomotion in neural circuits.
Neural components of the circuits that transform sensory cues into changes in motor activities are largely unknown. Several recent studies have now functionally mapped the sensorimotor circuits responsible for locomotion behaviors under defined environmental conditions in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
