Regulation of Spatiotemporal Patterns by Biological Variability: General Principles and Applications to Dictyostelium discoideum
Fig 2
Event identification in simulated and real spiral wave patterns.
Left column: snapshots of the lattices; middle column: corresponding space-time event plots; right column: top-down views of the event plots. Target wave origins are red asterisks, left- and right-handed spiral waves are blue and green diamonds, respectively. A: In the "Levine" model, spiral waves evolve early on due to colliding wavefronts, without a sustained target-wave phase. B: Development of spiral waves from the interaction of target waves in the "Goldbeter" model with a developmental path. C: Development of spiral waves from target waves in experimental Dictyostelium discoideum data. All simulated lattices are 100x100 and experimental data is rescaled to the same size.
