Figure 2. Zigzag preference of crawling PMG and MG5 cells.

Figure 2

A) Typical return maps of turning angles Inline graphic (red, PMG; blue, MG5), B) Histograms of the zigzag preference Inline graphic (nā€Š=ā€Š8 for each case), C) Auto-correlation functions of Inline graphic and their corresponding fits to an exponential function, D) and E) Auto-correlation functions of the instantaneous direction of movement for PMG and MG5 cells, respectively (nā€Š=ā€Š8 for each case). F) Histograms of the two time constants obtained by fitting the curves in (D) and (E) to Inline graphic. Inline graphiccosInline graphic in (D) and (E) are the ensemble time average over the entire observation duration of the inner-product between the two directional unit vectors separated by Inline graphic.
