Head and Tail Localization of C. elegans

12 Jan 2020  ·  Mansi Ranjit Mane, Aniket Anand Deshmukh, Adam J. Iliff ·

C. elegans is commonly used in neuroscience for behaviour analysis because of it's compact nervous system with well-described connectivity. Localizing the animal and distinguishing between its head and tail are important tasks to track the worm during behavioural assays and to perform quantitative analyses. We demonstrate a neural network based approach to localize both the head and the tail of the worm in an image. To make empirical results in the paper reproducible and promote open source machine learning based solutions for C. elegans behavioural analysis, we also make our code publicly available.
