Abstract
To investigate the fundamental question of how nervous systems encode, organize, and sequence behaviors, Kato et al. imaged neural activity with cellular resolution across the brain of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Locomotion behavior seems to be continuously represented by cyclical patterns of distributed neural activity that are present even in immobilized animals.
