The velocity-curvature power law in Drosophila larval locomotion

This study shows that Drosophila larval locomotion follows a speed-curvature power law with an exponent of 3/4, similar to human motor control, suggesting shared behavioral principles across species.

Hierarchical compression of C. elegans locomotion reveals phenotypic differences in the organisation of behaviour

The paper uses hierarchical compression to analyze C. elegans locomotion, finding that wild isolates have more compressible behavior than lab strains, suggesting a novel genetic basis for erratic locomotion.

Shared generative rules of locomotor behavior in arthropods and vertebrates

This paper identifies shared generative rules of locomotor behavior transitions between fruit flies and mice, revealing behavioral homologies across phyla.

Expanding perspectives on cognition in humans, animals, and machines

This paper reviews perspectives on cognition across disciplines and argues for expanding the concept of cognition rather than reducing it.

Big Behavioral Data: Psychology, Ethology and the Foundations of Neuroscience

The paper reviews advances in behavioral studies using rodents, focusing on big behavioral data's potential to unify neuroscience and related disciplines through ethomics.
