Optimal synaptic signaling connectome for locomotory behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans: Design minimizing energy cost
Fig 4
Influence of input pattern on the goal function SED.
For the optimal synaptic configuration (all interneuron connections inhibitory) we varied the upstream input pattern (horizontal axis—bottom) and observed the change in SED value. Input to a given interneuron can be either excitatory (in red) or inhibitory (in blue), which gives 64 possible input patterns. The minimal SED is obtained when all interneurons except AVA get excitation.
