摘要:In this study we provide a simplified model of the forward oscillatory locomotion neural circuit of the worm C.Elegans.Based on available connectome but lacking electrophysiological data on neurons and synapses we fill this gap by fine-tuning the electrophysiological parameters of the model so that it achieves oscillations.We observe that without electrical synapses the motor neurons are not active synchronously,thus hindering movement patterns observed in live worms.After the introduction of electrical synapses into the model,motor neurons work in synchrony.
