An electrophysiological and kinematic model of Paramecium, the “swimming neuron”
Fig 4
Outline of the modeling strategy.
Each number indicates the corresponding figure. The left column (5–7) is the electrophysiological modeling. The right column (8–9) is the modeling of couplings between electrophysiology and kinematic variables. Put together, we obtain a model of a freely swimming Paramecium (9), which is then augmented with elementary sensory transduction models to yield model simulations in structured environments (10–11).
