Fig. 8. Stochastic recruitment of ASH drives gustatory plasticity in our computational model.

Fig. 8

Chemotaxis index over time in experiments and simulations of the quadrant assay. a Average chemotaxis index (±SEM, individual data points have been indicated as dots) of naïve (0 mM) and pre-exposed (15 min, 100 mM NaCl) animals (n = 4 independent assays). The behavioral results (green) and the modeling results (red, orange) show a monotonic decay towards a chemotaxis index of 0, for both naïve and pre-exposed animals. b Virtual chemotaxis index for animals with unrecruited ASH (dark blue) and with recruited ASH (light blue). Without ASH state dynamics the chemotaxis index does not decay to 0. c Comparison of chemotaxis index for model with ASE (de)sensitization (red, orange) and with fully sensitized ASEL and ASER (black, brown).
