Reverse engineering neural control of movement in Hydra

Adrienne Fairhall

University of Washington

Oct 7, 2020

Hydra is a fascinating model organism for neuroscience. It is transparent; new genetic lines allow one to image activity in both neurons (Dupre and Yuste, 2017) and muscle cells (Szymanski and Yuste, 2019) ; it exhibits rich behavior, and it continually rebuilds itself. Hydra’s fairly simply physical structure as a two-layered fluid-filled hydrostat and the accessibility of information about neural and muscle activity opens the possibility of a complete model of neural control of behavior. This requires understanding the transformations that occur in the muscle cell layers and a biomechanical model of the body column. We show that we can use this modeling to reverse engineer how neural activity drives behavior.
