A computational model for how cells choose temporal or spatial sensing during chemotaxis
Fig 3
Temporal sensing is favored at high ratio of cell speed over cell size.
Percentage of runs where temporal sensing yield high output (green) or spatial sensing yield high output (red) for (a) incoherent feedforward and (b) negative integral feedback circuits at different values of β. The range of and
values used are
