The larvae were exposed to a 180-degree change in the direction of the white stimulus light, eliciting a phototactic turn. The stimulus direction is indicated by the white bars at the side of the video. During the turn the larvae are bending due to the contraction of the longitudinal muscles on one body side. Time increment: 0.066 s.
