摘要翻译：
分析动物行为的一个主要挑战是在复杂的运动动作中发现一些潜在的简单性。在这里，我们发现线虫线虫所采用的形状空间是令人惊讶的低维空间，仅四维就占形状方差的95%，我们部分地重建了这个空间中动力学的“运动方程”。这些动力学有多个吸引子，我们发现蠕虫对弱热刺激的快速和几乎完全确定的响应访问这些吸引子。不同模式之间的刺激依赖相关性表明，通过将刺激与蠕虫在形状空间中的状态同步，可以产生更可靠的行为。我们证实了这一预测，有效地实时“指导”蠕虫。

英文摘要：
A major challenge in analyzing animal behavior is to discover some underlying simplicity in complex motor actions. Here we show that the space of shapes adopted by the nematode C. elegans is surprisingly low dimensional, with just four dimensions accounting for 95% of the shape variance, and we partially reconstruct "equations of motion" for the dynamics in this space. These dynamics have multiple attractors, and we find that the worm visits these in a rapid and almost completely deterministic response to weak thermal stimuli. Stimulus-dependent correlations among the different modes suggest that one can generate more reliable behaviors by synchronizing stimuli to the state of the worm in shape space. We confirm this prediction, effectively "steering" the worm in real time.
