BIO-LGCA: A cellular automaton modelling class for analysing collective cell migration
Fig 2
Lattice and neighbourhood in the BIO-LGCA.
Example of square lattice (left). The node state is represented by the occupation of velocity channels (right); in the example, there are four velocity channels c1, c2, c3, c4, corresponding to the lattice directions, and one “rest channel” c5. Filled dots denote the presence of a cell in the respective velocity channel; right: von Neumann neighbourhood (green) of the red node. Black dots represent interaction partners of the red dot. Gray dots lie outside of the interaction neighbourhood and do not interact with the red dot.
